The press release about our recent paper in the BAMS report (both CASCADE and EASM projects) quantifying the human influence on last year’s deadly heatwaves in Pakistan and India. https://crd.lbl.gov/news-and-publications/news/2016/simulations-confirm-observations-on-2015-indiapakistan-heat-waves/ The report (and our 2 papers) can be downloaded from here: https://www.ametsoc.org/ams/index.cfm/publications/bulletin-of-the-american-meteorological-society-bams/explaining-extreme-events-from-a-climate-perspective/ The principle finding is that the human influence on these events are very […]
Large-scale data management is essential for modern climate science. The CASCADE project has generated upwards of 3PB of data itself. LBNL data scientists have prepared a blog post describing the state of large scale data management across a variety of disciplines including climate science. See this link https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/the-big-data-ecosystem-for-science
0.25 and 1 degree simulations from the US CliVar Hurricane Working Group are now online. Data is held on HPSS tape, so there will be a short staging period prior to data downloads. Click here http://portal.nersc.gov/cascade/hwg/
CASCADE’s climate scientist Daithi Stone was quoted in a recent Scientific American article about extreme event attribution. See: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/disasters-debated/

LBNL and NCAR did a joint press release on a recent paper about heat waves. The PR went fairly viral with over 800 reposts as best I can tell. Some with interesting comments… (My favorite being that Diana Ross told us all about heat waves in the 1960s. MFW.) Click this link for the original […]
