EdGCM

EdGCM

[http://edgcm.columbia.edu EdGCM] is a global climate model (GCM) that has been ported for use on desktop computers and integrated with a relational database, a graphical user interface, and scientific visualization utllities, all of which are aimed at helping improve the quality of teaching and learning of climatology. EdGCM is developed at Columbia University by scientists and programmers in the Center for Climate Systems Research. The Global Climate Model at the core of EdGCM was developed at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies and is referred to in climate modeling literature as the GISS Model II. It is currently in use by researchers to study climates of the past, present and future. EdGCM permits teachers and students to conduct in-depth investigations of current climate science topics, in near real-time, just as they are being studied by climate scientists.
