BBC links to huge climate project
View at BBC NEWS
The BBC is inviting viewers to join the world's biggest online climate prediction project.
Climateprediction.net has already been running for two years and has generated forecasts on the likely extent of climate change.
Participants download software onto their personal computers which run the program when the machine is idle.
Its newest, most sophisticated computer model is being launched on Tuesday in conjunction with BBC Four in the UK.
'The main change in this model is that it uses a fully dynamic ocean,' said the project's chief scientist David Stainforth from Oxford University.
