Title: How climateprediction.net uses JASMIN: development, data storage, analysis, and collaboration.

Abstract: 

Climateprediction.net is a volunteer computing, climate modelling project. We run climate models on people’s home computers to help answer questions about how climate change is affecting our world, now and in the future. This talk will cover how a need for large scale data storage associated with public distributed computing has grown into a much wider use of the JASMIN infrastructure. We will explain how the project has made use of a JASMIN Cloud tenancy for model development, used group workspaces and the LOTUS batch cluster to receive and analyse data from volunteers, whilst enabling collaboration and training workshops.
