This symposium was organized by both our Academy Industry Program, which seeks to strengthen the interactions between industry and the National Research Council, and our Computer Science and Technology Board, which, on behalf of both academies and the National Research Council, is responsible for the oversight of developments in computer science and technology and for providing advice on computer activities to various groups in the federal government and to others. Certainly the digital computer and its applications have now become ubiquitous.

Supercomputers, for purposes of weather forecasting, are now literally scattered throughout the world. It is also important, considering the growing national and international concerns about the greenhouse problem, to recognize that the only way we have had to simulate and experiment with the consequences of increasing concentrations of infrared gases in the atmosphere has been by modeling atmospheric and oceanic systems with supercomputers.
