Source: Geophysical Research Letters Mathematical models that simulate the Earth’s climate are essential for predicting future climate change. However, even today’s most sophisticated Earth system models suffer from uncertainties related to the difficulty of simulating small-scale or complex processes, such as the formation of raindrops and the uptake of carbon by plants.

Making climate models open source makes them even more useful
Designing climate experiments is nearly impossible in the real world. We cannot, for example, study the effects of clouds by removing all the clouds for a set period of time and seeing what happens. Instead, we have to design our experiments virtually, by developing computational models. Now a new open-source set of climate models has […]
