The Educational Global Climate Modeling (EdGCM) Project provides a fully functional 3-dimensional global climate model (GCM) that runs on desktop computers. This suite of software applications lets users employ the same methods and tools that scientists use and experience the full scientific process, including designing experiments, setting up and running computer simulations, post-processing output, using scientific visualization to display results, and creating scientific manuscripts ready for publishing to the web. The EdGCM website provides an overview of the project, a description of how the software operates, and examples of student projects and exercises that use the model. There are also instructions for downloading and installing the software, a frequently-asked-questions feature, and online support forums.
