In the early days, meteorology
was one part fortune-telling and one part stoic philosophy.
Happily, those days are long behind us. Current predictive
algorithms are capable of accurately defining weather
patterns more than a month out. Our researchers spend
most of their time identifying larger weather trends that
can help us determine what our weather may be like in
the following years or even decades.
Researchers at BWU’s original Bangalore campus developed meteorology’s
Holy Grail, the so called Karma Model, which for the first time provided a detailed
simulation of just how global industry had affected the planet’s weather
patterns. The Model’s grim prophecies helped save countless lives as it anticipated
many of the catastrophic effects of the warming. The evacuation of Bangladesh
has rightly been called “one of the greatest humanitarian accomplishments
in the history of Science.”
Since then, BWU has aggressively sought not only to predict the weather, but to
tame it. While many are eager to steal credit for our current meteorological stability,
objective historians of science agree that the seminal idea for what would become
the thermo-plankton web originated from BWU’s Dunedin campus. BWU engineers,
programmers, chemists, and nano-technicians were in the vanguard of the TP deployment,
and continue to monitor and maintain this crucial global thermostat to this day.
