2) Message boards : climateprediction.net Science : Hurricanes, Ocean Currents? (Message 25772) Posted 29 Dec 2006 by old_user212873 Post: Thanks Mike. Great info! Are these types of energy exchanges accounted for in these models or are they expected to average out? Also, I am modestly familiar with the theory relating the efficiency of the \"Trans-oceanic Conveyer\"/\"Ocean Conveyer Belt\" and ocean salinity. I wouldn\'t imagine that a 120 year model would include this as a variable, but is climateprediction.net thinking of doing a longer term simulation that investigates this, or is the science not established well enough?
3) Message boards : climateprediction.net Science : Hurricanes, Ocean Currents? (Message 25764) Posted 29 Dec 2006 by old_user212873 Post: I was wondering if climateprediction.net included hurricanes as a part of it\'s model since pressure is one of the parameters monitored. I\'m certain it would be very difficult to model these predictably (even models dedicated to hurricanes can\'t do it very predictably), but I would imagine that these are very important features as they pertain to global climate changes since they move such a tremendous amount of energy from one place to another - Ocean currents moving warm water to the poles/cold water to the equator, and hurricanes pulling heat energy out of the ocean and moving it over land. What I really want to know is will I see a rather localized very low pressure system move across the Atlantic from N. Africa to the Caribbean, monsoons hitting India, or Typhoons hitting Japan? Is this too complicated for the current model, or is the grid just too coarse to see one of these storms?

5) Message boards : Number crunching : Turn off model recording (Message 25760) Posted 29 Dec 2006 by old_user212873 Post: The files are in: C:\\Program Files\\BOINC\\projects\\climateprediction.net\\hadcm3ohb_<model name>\\tmp and look like: <model name> <long number string> .cpdn They are 151KB. (<long number string> would be a timestamp for each file) Thanks a ton. One last question...Can I just delete everything in the tmp folder, or will that wreck something?
6) Message boards : Number crunching : Turn off model recording (Message 25756) Posted 28 Dec 2006 by old_user212873 Post: I turned on model recording. Is there any way to turn it off, or at least be able to tell if recording has been turned off? Also, can I delete the recorded data files? The reason I ask is that right now, Climate Prediction takes up over 1.5G on my computer. I\'m starting to approach my storage limit. I tried to find info on the FAQ and in message boards, but couldn\'t. Just a link to a related post would be great! Thanks, Chris
