Starting to downscale climate data

This autumn part of the EMaPS team are gathered at the Geophysical Institute/University of Bergen to, among other things, focus on down-scaling of climate data. We are now starting to dynamically downscale climate data for a longer period. Since this is computationally heavy we will be using the Cray XT4 system at Parallab. Up till now we have been climbing the steep learning curve, but once we got there the results are coming. The image is showing down-scaled temperature at 2 meters, and is from one of the test runs. The larger cells show the input data.

About the site

This page will host information about Open Malaria Warning (OMaWa). OMaWa is a child of EMaPS (Ethiopian Malaria Prediction System), and the model will also be used in a recent project funded by ESA (European Space Agency). All models and source code will be released under GPL >=2 license once they have been published. Information on where to get the source code will be posted once the distribution system is ready (svn and track).

About me

I am currently a PhD student at Center for International Health/Geophysical Institute at the University of Bergen, Norway. My supervisors are Professor Bernt Lindtjørn and Ass. professor Asgeir Sorteberg. You can read more about the project at the EMaPS web pages. Information about me can be found here.
