GEOS-Chem on cloud computing platforms¶
GEOSChem-on-cloud project aims to build a cloud computing capability for GEOS-Chem that can be easily accessed by researchers worldwide.
See Why move to the cloud for the motivation of this project. See Quick start guide for new users to start your first GEOS-Chem simulation on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud within 10 minutes (and within seconds for the next time).
This project is supported by the AWS Public Data Set Program and the NASA Atmospheric Composition Modeling and Analysis Program (ACMAP).
Warning
GEOSChem-on-cloud is at initial development and things are moving very fast. Please use the GitHub issue tracker to request new funtionalities, report bugs, or just discuss general issues.
