<p>Florida State was awarded a $6.2 million grant by NOAA to build a better hurricane computer modeling system. The supercomputers at FSU will be essential to build the modeling program. </p>

<p>hey Parent2Noles, do you ever post on the Warchant.com academic board?</p>
<p>I've heard of Warchant and read it a little during football and recruiting season, but never an academic board side of it.</p>
<p>Here's the link:</p>
<p>Judging by your posts here, I think you'd be a very good contributor to the board and enjoy it as well.</p>
<p>I took a look - looks like a nice board. The graphics are certainly better.</p>
<p>Brings some of those folks over here, too - this is a national board with amazing diverse and educated folk. It seemed to me that FSU was a bit neglected, so I figured a bit of input here would help.</p>
<p>I posted a link to this board as well. Hopefully they'll be some reciprocation and both boards will be better as a result.</p>
<p>Already is...you guys found some material I missed. Great job!</p>
