Abstract

CRAY Y-MP 4-432 supercomputers. Academic and Program Established to Predict El Nino government scientists, selected by NOAA's Global From forecasts issued from the International Re- Change Program, will be allocated approximately search Institute for Climate Prediction, policy makers 12 500 hours of computer time annually. Scientists worldwide will have the capability to prepare for the from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, the Uni- potentially devastating effects of an El Nino well in versity of California—San Diego, UCLA, the Univer- advance of the event.
