Error Strikes Climateprediction.net Model
A "major error" has been discovered in the world's biggest online climate prediction project, backed by the BBC.More here.
The fault in a Climateprediction.net model launched in February causes temperatures in past climates to rise quicker than seen in observations.
The program, which runs on users' computers when they are idle, aims to generate forecasts of climate change.
The project scientists have now restarted the model but say the data collected so far is still useful.
"At some point in the future we may have down an experiment like this anyway," Myles Allan, principle investigator of the project told the BBC News website. "People have not been wasting their time."
