Studies of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
established by the UN in 1988 for years warned of the risks to
ecosystems and people themselves excessive heating of the
atmosphere due to human action. But their predictions are made
keeping and fixed the amount of solar radiation received at
Terra, although this is variable. Now, a project developed
jointly by the University of Vigo, Universidad Complutense de
Madrid, the National Atmospheric Research Center of the U.S. and
Britain's University of Oxford is performing at the
Supercomputing Center of Galicia (CESGA) advanced simulations
provide for this variability. The Juan Antonio Anel Ourense,
head of research in climatology at the Smith School of
Enterprise and the Environment at Oxford University in Britain,
remembers that the simulations of the impact of solar activity
on Earth's climate "require very detailed climate models to
implement different solar radiation conditions, "which involves
intensive computing power a supercomputer as 'Fin
