BOULDER – Scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) have created a computer simulation showing Earth’s climate in unprecedented detail at the time of the greatest mass ...

Current global climate models (GCMs) support with high confidence the view that rising greenhouse gases and other anthropogenic forcings account for nearly all observed global surface warming—slightly ...

The ICON model can be used for weather forecasting as well as climate predictions and long-term projections. So far, however, the different applications have been developed separately. An initiative ...

In a time of increasing climate variability, researchers Pengfei Xue and Miraj B. Kayastha have developed regional Earth system models to better understand and predict extreme weather and ...

After yet another international climate summit ended last fall without binding commitments to phase out fossil fuels, a leading global climate model is offering a stark forecast for the decades ahead.

Here’s one definition of science: it’s essentially an iterative process of building models with ever-greater explanatory power. A model is just an approximation or simplification of how we think the ...

The lifetime of nitrous oxide is decreasing more quickly than expected, which is changing climate projections.

Agency cuts, layoffs and policy shifts are throwing America’s role into question. The world’s largest climate modeling initiative is quietly ramping up its next project, but U.S. participation is a ...

For reasons that are still unclear, climate models underestimate the growing gap between the amount of energy Earth receives ...
