Recognizing that to predict the future, nothing better
than revisiting the past, Phillipe Navaux presented at the CHAIN-GISELA
Conference the idea of a data repository with the climate activity of the
last ten years in Brazil, Argentina, Peru and Uruguay. The idea is supported in
the draft GBRAMS AMSUD project seeking to create tools for large-scale weather computing
in this part of the region.
The LAGClima application and the creation of a
computational Grid are the objectives of this collaboration generated between
universities of the involved countries, together with France. The project uses
the BRAMS application, an open software developed in Brazil to model weather
conditions, inspired in RAMS (Regional Atmospheric Modeling), created in
Colorado, USA. "We must build capacity to use local tools and
methodologies," said Navaux.
The initiative would record a series of important data
for studies of hydrology, weather predictions, predict natural disasters and
other activities favorable to agriculture and urban development in the midst of
a potential international network of specialists in this field.
The involved countries have already created the Grid
for these purposes. Navaux said to be open to integrate efforts with the GISELA
Project and the new Science Gateway environment for access to data derived from
this project as well as other possibilities for working together. "We have
common objectives."
