[[wikipedia:Myles_Allen|'''''Myles Allen''''']] first thought about the need for large [[wikipedia:Climate_ensemble|'''''climate ensembles''''']] in 1997, and was introduced to the success of SETI@home in 1999. A 2003 launch only offered a Windows "classic" client. On 26 August 2004 a BOINC client was launched which supported Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

* why this topic/object of ~~study?~~

== Goal ==

* summarize the ~~objectives and challenges which~~ the ~~project addresses, before jumping into details~~

Investigate the approximations that have to be made in state-of-the-art climate models.

== Methods ==

* always including "why BOINC"?

By running the model thousands of times we hope to find out how the model responds to slight tweaks to these approximations - slight enough to not make the approximations any less realistic. This will allow us to improve our understanding of how sensitive our models are to small changes and also to things like changes in carbon dioxide and the sulphur cycle. This will allow us to explore how climate may change in the next century under a wide range of different scenarios.

* ~~impactful final statement~~
