Oh, jeez. matched

Yeah, so there's a really interesting study that was just published. matched

No, actually, it's still this month in the Archive Physics. matched

It's called Computing the Full Earth System at One Kilometer Resolution, which is actually really funny because it's 1.25 kilometers resolution, but they're like close enough. matched

We'll round it off. matched

Yeah, round it off. matched

They're like, for all intents and purposes, it's the same thing. matched

So this was published by a group of scientists who basically, I mean, there are two main things that happened here to make this possible. matched

And from everything I'm reading and, you know, this area of press, it was originally published in France. matched

universe today, and then it was picked up by Science Alert and by other outlets. matched

And the physics archive, it was published in this, I guess the subheading is atmospheric and ocean physics. matched

And is this preprint? matched

Yeah, I mean, it's in the archive. matched

So yeah, that's almost always preprint. matched

But from what, and the main reason it's a big deal is, well, it's two things. matched

Number one, they used the latest technology to be able to do this technology that just wasn't available before. matched

And we'll get into what that is. matched

And number two, they simulated the Earth. matched

And we're talking about weather and climate patterns or systems of the full Earth down to a resolution that's never been achieved before. matched

And they actually, for the purposes of communicating the research and the modeling, they basically talk about two categories, and they call them fast and slow systems. matched
