Barcelona Supercomputing Center investigates hardware and software for Big Data. We carry out research projects that require large quantities of data. Weather and climate studies are a clear case of large amount of data that are required to make a detailed prediction. 
Every time a model reproduces the global changes in a single decade it generates between 135 TB (terabytes) and 5 PB (petabytes) of data.
