Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, and sometimes these atoms are slightly heavier than usual. These heavier forms are ...

Current global climate models (GCMs) support with high confidence the view that rising greenhouse gases and other ...

Hybrid climate modeling has emerged as an effective way to reduce the computational costs associated with cloud-resolving ...

Models, by definition, are approximations: useful, informative, and inevitably incomplete, because they are the only way to simplify a world too complex to grasp all at once. A new study on nitrous ...

Climate models may be underestimating—by anything from half to two degrees—how much hotter India’s non-metropolitan cities can get from global warming relative to rural areas, according to a report ...

Climate models have been the basis for concern about climate change for more than 35 years. The US government, the United Nations, and organizations across the world have used model projections to ...

Uncertainty in climate models could mean Earth systems are perilously close to their tipping points, scientists warn.

Tiny marine plankton that build calcium carbonate shells play an outsized role in regulating Earth’s climate, quietly pulling carbon from the atmosphere and helping lock it away in the deep ocean. New ...

A study describes a new computer algorithm which can be applied to Earth System Models to drastically reduce the time needed to prepare these in order to make accurate predictions of future climate ...

The report warns many economic models are failing to capture extreme weather events and rising uncertainty likely to dominate impacts in a hotter world.
