Latin American Grid for Climatology Project

The project LAGClima is the continuation of the former STIC AMSUD project AMSUD-GBRAMS. Building upon the previous results (set-up of a computational grid between Brazil, Argentina and Peru, based on the French middleware OAR, and formation of specialists), it aims at using the Grid between the international partners, to perform the computation of a meso-scale climatology of the Rio da Plata. A period of 10 years will be simulated. The Grid will also include a cluster in Uruguay, in an attempt to enlarge the collaboration. The simulation tool is the BRAMS software, developed by the Brazilian organism CPTEC (INPE). The main outcomes of the project will be:

1. A computational, distributed platform ranging at least four countries of Latin America.
2. A 10 years Climatology centered on the Rio da Plata and including the Uruguay.
3. A 10 years Climatology centered on the Peruvian Andes.
4. The formation of an international network of trained specialists in this field.
5. The setup of an OAR based cluster in Uruguay, with the help of the French expertise.
6. A school of Grid Computing and Climatology.
