Summary:
"Kitware has been awarded a $150,000 grant from the Department of Energy (DOE) to create analysis tools with easy, simplified access to computer model outputs resulting from long-term, high-resolution, climate change projections performed by the U.S. Global Change Research Program.
Kitware's proposed application, ClimatePipes, will facilitate access to the data for non-researchers, as opposed to a more technical audience. Effective analysis in climate science relies on having the appropriate cyberinfrastructure to enable people to discover, access, manipulate, and visualize large and complex datasets of interest. Facilitating widespread accessibility of this data can have a significant impact on commercial, educational, and government activities...."
