1. NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) (USA) computer
   The climate models that GISS has developed and operates include atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) and coupled atmosphere-ocean models. Such computer models numerically solve fundamental equations describing the conservation of mass, energy, momentum, etc. for each atmospheric gridbox, while taking into account the transfer of those quantities between gridboxes. They also consider, often in parameterized form, the physical processes within the boxes, including sources and sinks of these quantities.

If you have queries about these pages or about obtaining the NASA GISS data from the BADC then you should contact CEDA Support. Your query should be answered within one working day. When follow-up work is required, the CEDA support will carry out the work as quickly and efficiently as possible, and in any case, the user will be kept informed of progress.
