Welcome to CPDN, a volunteer computing project
The world’s largest climate modelling experiment
Introduction to CPDN
CPDN (short for climateprediction.net) is a volunteer-based computing initiative dedicated to climate modeling.
Through harnessing the computational power of individuals' home computers, we aim to investigate the current and future impact of climate change on our infrastructure, health, climate, and energy.
Join our project today and contribute to our understanding of the evolving nature of the climate.
Get Involved
The climateprediction.net (CPDN) project runs climate models on people’s home computers to help answer questions about how climate change is affecting our world, now and in the future.
By installing our free software on your computer, you can actively participate in simulating climate impacts for CPDN.
Our computer models simulate current and future climate conditions offering insight into the changing temperature and precipitation patterns, and the likelihood of extreme weather occurrences.
The data generated through this process is collected and utilized within the CPDN projects. The more models that are run, the more insight we can gather on our changing climate.
Volunteer your computer and help us predict the climate:
Conduct a Study
CPDN (short for climateprediction.net) offers scientists access to a powerful platform for conducting cutting-edge climate modeling experiments, through harnessing the collective computational resources of volunteers to tackle complex research questions and generate valuable insights into climate variability and change.
CPDN has a rich history of contributing to scientific research on climate variability and change. Past projects have explored topics such as seasonal forecasting, extreme weather events, and long-term climate projections, providing a foundation for further exploration and discovery.
