Interactive user area

Welcome to the Climateprediction.net user area. We want to develop (or to encourage participants to develop) a community around the experiment. This includes discussion groups, web-based learning resources, peer-to-peer services and some exciting new technologies such as semantic web browsing.

Discussion Groups for Participants

As the experiment has developed, we have rolled out various discussion groups. These have been a great sucess and enjoy active debate; making the forums a good place to visit on a regular basis to see what other users are getting up to. Our main discussion group uses the renowned phpBB software and there is also a discussion board running the BOINC board software. Only people who have signed up to the project may use the BOINC boards, but anyone may use the phpBB boards and we would encourage anyone with an interest in climate science to do so.

Clicking on either of these links will navigate away from this page to the appropriate forum.

Publications and Presentations

We've made climateprediction.net's output available to you — scientific papers and talks by climateprediction.net project staff, as well as various other things which (we hope) might be of interest such as public lectures, schools talks.

BOINC Statistics and User Profile

From here, you can access and customise the details of your user profile (such as your email address, password, group participation, preferences on when your computer should be used for climate prediction, etc.).

On your user page you can also access various statistics about the experiment as a whole and especially your role in it. You'll be able to see how many CPU cycles you've contributed to the project, how many years of model time you've simulated, and you'll be able to compare these against other participants. Better still, you can compare some of the data from your run against the experiment as a whole: say you've simulated 30 years of the period 1950-2000 - is your world hotter or colder than the average? Wetter or drier? You'll be able to compare your world with thousands of other worlds.
