Source for GUI is not open. Source for GCM is available at GISS. We'd love to do Linux but our interface language, 4D, does not support it. Please file requests with them until we re-do with a cross-platform language or web-based technologies.
If you'd like to use some of the data these articles discuss, the EdGCM project has wrapped a NASA global climate model (GCM) in a GUI (OS X and Win). You can add CO2 or turn the sun down by a few percent all with a checkbox and a slider. Supercomputers and advanced FORTRAN programmers are no longer necessary to run your own GCM.
I use an Evolution (discontinued) from Kinesis. The trackpad on the keyboard is useful. That and a Wacom on my lap is particulary nice, and while the pen does require some gripping, not much...
Then, learn *nix where more time is spent on the keyboard. The biggest cause of my RSI is the mouse, and CLI solves much of the problem.
Finally, whatever system you use, you have to use it correctly... Posture, breaks, etc.
If you'd like to run your own NASA Global Climate Model (GCM) on your own computer, the EdGCM project has ported a GCM to Mac & Windows and wrapped it in a GUI so you can point-and-click your way around. Turn the sun down or add some nitrogen, whatever you want...
Yes, many models have variable resolution. This one does not.
It is also common to feed GCMs to regional models or regional results as GCM inputs. Occasionally people do GCM regional in a dual feedback loop. It is difficult to implement, and this model does not support it out of the box. But the source is available so you could do it if you really wanted to...
The current model is only 8x10. This does resolve waves, but only large scale waves (wave order 1 (planetary) through 4 or so (continental) perhaps?).
Vertically we have 12 layers and I'm not sure what type of structures appear there... You can see hadley cells, ferrel cells (slightly), etc.
Higher res models ported to the GUI are in progress. If you'd like to run them without the GUI there are many out there... both at GISS/Columbia and other climate labs.
If you'd like to run your own NASA Global Climate Model (GCM) on your own computer, the EdGCM project has ported a GCM to Mac & Windows and wrapped it in a GUI so you can point-and-click your way around. Turn the sun down or add some nitrogen, whatever you want...
Note that the resolution is pretty coarse (8x10 degrees) so that it still runs at a decent clip on your Mac/PC, and therefore Tibet gets 1 or 2 grid cells, that is about it.
If you'd like to check results yourself, or look at precipitation, ground wetness, soil moisture (all related to drought and famine and food production), or any other of a few hundred climate variables, you can do it at home yourself.
EdGCM is a NASA global climate model (GCM) ported to run on Windows and Mac. Double-click to install, and you'll find it has been wrapped in a nice GUI. Want to add some CO2 or turn down the sun? Check the box and drag the slider! It includes, among many other things, a visualization program to image the results as line plots, or on a map, or however you want...
If you don't trust Lindzen, you can run your own global climate model at home and check the outputs yourself!
EdGCM is a NASA GCM that has been ported to run on Mac and Windows, and given a GUI interface. Want to turn the sun down by 2% or add some CO2? Just point and click and drag. Then, hit play, wait a day or two, and you'll have your own GCM outputs, complete with a visualization utility to view them with.
A website and plug-in for Word and PowerPoint that measures the overall readability of your documents. It highlights overused consulting jargon, offering witty comments along the way.
From the page: "Bullfighter is the epoch-defining software that works with Microsoft Word and PowerPoint to help you find and eliminate jargon in your documents. It may look like a little toolbar with three buttons, but it's actually much more. Bullfighter includes a jargon database and an exclusive Bull Composite Index calculator that will allow you to see -- in an actual window, on your PC display, live -- just how bad a document can be."
Venera 9 sent image telemetry for 50 minutes. It scanned 174 of the panorama from left to right, and then 124 scanning right to left.
They drilled, photographed, and used penetrometers on the surface. Each mission lasts a few hours to days before the atmosphere crumples the spacecraft like a soda can due to the pressure. Much different than life on Mars!
It is a shame that Maestro appears to have stopped updating their data.
Still, it is excellent software, and fun to use even if you don't get where Spirit is today.
With Maestro you can see what the rovers see, and what the rover operators and instruments see... Actual software used in mission control.

EdGCM is the Educational Global Climate Model, a NASA climate model that has been ported to run on Mac and PC with a GUI interface. Download it and it comes with default climate simulations (modern, global warming, paleo, etc.). Or you can design your own climates!
If you'd like to run a NASA global climate model yourself, EdGCM is a port to Mac or Windows, and wrapped in a GUI so you can point-and-click your own climate simulation.

If you want to duplicate any of the work the climate scientists have done, you can try with EdGCM, a NASA climate model that has been ported to Win/Mac and wrapped in a GUI.
With EdGCM (http://edgcm.columbia.edu/ you can run a NASA global climate model (GCM) on your own computer (Win or OS X). You can set up whatever type of climate you want. Global warming and a few paleo runs come pre-installed. And then you can look at the results.

According to this article Voyager 1 already passed the heliopause at 85 AU. So which edge are we looking for now?

Linux version of the GUI cannot exist because of 4D. Check our FAQ and pester them, we'd love to support Linux...
Source code is availble. Check the GISS website, or email with a request.
I've just discovered that Columbia is throttling our site to roughly modem speeds because of their bandwidth policy.
I've requested that our site be exempt, so we'll see if they approve that.
But normally we're high speed, internet 2, all that good stuff. Please come back tomorrow and I promise it'll be plenty fast.
