Climate models

Next-generation climate models could learn and improve on the fly

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. New IT tools […]

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 […]
