An Internet-connected grid project of potentially millions of personal computers is being launched by a group of UK-based universities, weather services and software companies in an effort to predict global climate. As a collaboration of Oxford, the Open University, Met Office, the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and other institutions, the ClimatePrediction.net project that began this week will deliver the most accurate weather forecast ever, researchers said.
