IBM has scooped a $6.2m (£3.85m) contract to supply the US National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) with an RS/6000 supercomputer.
The machine, code-named 'Blackforest', is 20 times more powerful than 'Deep Blue' - the machine that beat Gary Kasparov at chess.
It will be used for modelling weather systems, pollution systems and microbursts - sudden down drafts of air that can crash small planes.
The machine, based in Boulder, Colorado, replaces a Cray supercomputer.
