Climate Modeling Initiative (CMI)

 

The Climate Modeling Initiative (CMI) is a collaborative effort by scientists in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science to develop a state-of-the-art model of the atmosphere and ocean that will further study of the Earth’s climate. The development of this new generation of climate model reflects improved process models—which capitalize on our latest understanding of ocean, land, atmospheric, and bio-geochemical processes—combined with innovations in algorithms, computing technology, and software design. At the heart of this research is the MIT General Circulation Model (MITgcm).


CMI’s wide-ranging approach draws together elements of computational fluid dynamics, statistics, meteorology, oceanography, and computer science.
