Space Weather and Supercomputers - CSEM Outreach

CSEM stands for the Center for Space Environment Modeling. Scientists who work at the Center are interested in creating a detailed model of the space environment. They are especially interested in the environment very near the Earth. By understanding the space environment surrounding the Earth, scientists can better predict the effects of space weather storms on our planet. Since the environment surrounding the Earth is so complex, supercomputers must be used to model that environment. In this site, we share some cool, fun and fascinating items dealing with supercomputers, space environment models and Sun-Earth connections.
