We will use HPCF for a new NSF-funded initiative in big data applied to atmospheric sciences and using high-performance computing as a vital tool. The research training consists of instruction in the areas of data, computing, and atmospheric sciences supported by teaching assistants, followed by faculty-guided project research in a multidisciplinary team of participants from each area. Participating graduate students, post-docs, and junior faculty from around the nation will be exposed to multidisciplinary research experiences and have the opportunity for significant career growth. Details of the project can be found at cybertraining.umbc.edu.
