Historic risk data and 10-day weather forecasts are no longer enough to plan disaster response and decide locations for hospitals, schools, and housing.

It’s a model, just not the fierce kind Climate models are, at heart, giant bundles of equations —mathematical representations of everything we’ve learned about the climate system.

Running the models that project the future climate takes supercomputers the size of basketball courts. These models divide Earth and its atmosphere into thousands of representative cells and then ...

For decades, scientists studying a key climate phenomenon have been grappling with contradictory data that have threated to undermine confidence in the reliability of climate models overall. A new ...

The latest generation of climate models is running hotter—here’s why It largely comes down to their simulation of mid-latitude clouds.

The Role of Climate Models in Understanding Our Planet Climate models are essential tools that scientists utilize to understand the complex dynamics of Earth's climate. These models are like ...

Real world measurements of how much extra heat the Earth is trapping are well beyond most climate models. That’s a real ...

Halving the size of cells requires roughly ten times more computing power; today’s models, thousands of times more powerful, can simulate cells of around 50km per side.

Climate models divide the world into a 3D grid. Scientists evaluate the effect of solar radiation, water surface temperatures, carbon pollution and other variables in each cell.

Sunaina Sinha Haldea heads the board of SFC Energy AG, whose fuel cells are helping to provide continuous and safer power to remote areas.

Plants Are Using Much More CO2 Than Climate Models Assume A study recently published in the journal Nature finds plants have been absorbing 31 percent more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than ...
