NCAR data storage growth rates (p.~54), 500 bytes per MFlop, or about 8~TB/year with Y/MP-8. Average file length 26.2~MB. Migration across both storage hierarchy and generations of media. LLNL researcher: typical 50-year, 3-dimensional model with 5-degree resolution will produce 75~GB of output. Attendee list included.} }
