APS@home

Introduction
APS@Home studies problems in atmospheric science. At the moment, we're concentrating on atmospheric dispersion, and how it affects the accuracy of estimates used in global climate models.

In the current application, your computer simulates the trajectories of tracer "particles" within and above forest and crop canopies, to improve our understanding of ecosystem - atmosphere interactions. Many climate models depend on details of these interactions; the understanding we gain from the work your computers do helps to improve the quality of such models.

Science

[The Science section might (or might not) be divided into two parts: {1} general discussion of the field, and then {2} a discussion of the project's specific endeavor. For instance, in LHC@home, we might have {1} "Science of the Large Hardon Collider" and then {2} "Science of LHC@home"

The above is desirable, because in most cases, the field of research is really fascinating, and presenting this in broad terms-- outlining the big questions-- can make it easier to understand the particulars of the project and why it is important.]

Results

[Where known, we should attempt to keep track of each project's publications. A good list to draw from is here. ]

Links of Interest

[Why recreate the wheel; there are lots of great sources out there.; a good list of sources can be really useful to the reader.]

APS@home In the Classroom

[For each project, please add a "[Projectname] in the Classroom" section-- with a link to Volunteer Computing In the Classroom and an article named "[Projectname] in the Classroom". (Then please add "[Projectname] in the Classroom" to the list on the main Education page.)]
