Cloudy with a chance of Martian ice and dust This supercomputer simulation shows the climate on Mars over the course of one year, spanning from spring through winter in the northern hemisphere. In the visualization, water-ice clouds are gray, while dust is yellow and frozen carbon dioxide is white. As the ice caps in the north shrink, they grow in the south. As fall arrives, a dust storm encircles the entire planet. | NASA Ames Research Center

Meet Pleiades, our most powerful supercomputer. Located at our Ames Research Center, Pleiades was recently named the 13th fastest computer in the world, providing scientists and researchers high-fidelity numerical modeling of complex systems and processes.
