Ask HN: What are important climate science opensource projects?

I'm not involved in climate science, so I'm hardly an expert, but this is something I've heard a bit about. It seems to be pretty popular / widely used:

This from a little over a year ago was very informative:

I used to work at GFDL and I know that they provide some code on GitHub, including at least one climate model (MOM6). Also, the Flexible Modeling System (FMS) is core to the work they do, but you'll have to put your Fortran hat on. You might also look at PCMDI's repo. They provide tooling that helps standardize climate data for the international community for use in the assessment reports. For something more on the distribution and analysis side (which may be more accessible and interesting to people who aren’t climate scientists), take a look at the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF). Hope this helps!

There is this crypto currency called gridcoin where you lend your machine's processing power for researches like climate change,cancer research... Very intersting projects there
