ClimatePrediction.net model runs on worldwide personal computer network

The Climateprediction.net project is harnessing the spare CPU cycles of tens of thousands of individual users' PCs to run a massive ensemble of climate simulations using the Met Office's Unified Model. A multi-thousand member ensemble of simulation results from the perturbed physics climate sensitivity experiment is available for research purposes.

Distribution format
  • Availability of data and file format

    The data is divided into a series of volumes with a consistent

    directory structure. Volumes are filled in the order data is submitted and

    therefore a single volume may contain simulations from multiple

    Climateprediction.net experiments.

    The first volume in the dataset (vol-000) is a quality controlled subset of early Climateprediction.net data that is documented seperately here. This volume contains aproximately 2500 runs with a total size of 13Gb. Subsequent volumes will be an order of magnitude larger.

    Each simulation is stored within a volume at a URL matching the following pattern:

    ftp://ftp.ceda.ac.uk/badc/cpdn/volumes/vol-xxx/model/yy/result-name

    Where xxx is a zero-padded volume number, model

    identifies the type of Climateprediction.net simulation

    (e.g. standard for the HadSM3 slab model experiment or

    sulphur for the HadSM3 + sulphur cycle experiment) and

    yy is a directory branch designed to limit the size of

    individual directories. The directory branch yy is currently calculated

    as the first 2 characters of the simulation's UM id, which is usually

    also part of the result-name. However, this feature should not

    be assumed as future volumes may use a different convention.

    Within each simulation directory data is stored as a series of NetCDF files conforming to the CF metadata standard.
