Climate change mitigation-related stories were among the top ten most read science stories from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in 2009.
Harnessing the petaflop capacity of the laboratory’s Roadrunner supercomputer, the laboratory’s number one story, has enabled researchers to examine the effect of mesoscale ocean eddies on the transport of nutrients crucial for the growth of phytoplankton.
Previously, the effects of photosynthesis of ocean phytoplankton and other sea plants in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere have not been thoroughly examined because of the lack of available computing power.
The laboratory’s innovations in high-resolution climate modeling and monitoring was the third most read story. The climate, ocean and sea ice modeling effort develops the highest-resolution dynamic models of the world’s oceans and polar ice caps.
The laboratory’s team-up with Solix Biofuels Inc. to use the laboratory’s sound wave technology in optimizing production of algae-based fuel ranked as the seventh leading story for 2009.
