We've been watching temperatures climb, extreme weather events intensify, and ice sheets shrink. Every weather forecast and climate projection relies on incredibly complex computer simulations that ...

Changes in rainfall within global monsoon regions affect the livelihoods of billions. For years, climate models have ...

Northern wildfires may be more dangerous for the climate than they appear. Researchers found that fires in boreal forests can burn deep into peat soils, releasing ancient carbon stored for hundreds or ...

Climate models are complex, just like the world they mirror. They simultaneously simulate the interacting, chaotic flow of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans, and they run on the world’s largest ...

Researchers have long been puzzled by the observed cooling of the eastern tropical Pacific and the Southern Ocean accompanying global warming. Existing climate models have failed to capture this ...

The fight against climate change is ongoing, and while we're still a long way from finding an actually sustainable solution, researchers at Yale say that imperfect climate models may actually be far ...

Have you ever stopped to wonder how forecasters can predict the weather days in advance, or how scientists figure out how the climate might evolve under different policies? The Earth system is a vast ...

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 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 ...

A new study says a federal climate report wrongly downplayed clear evidence of the human “fingerprint” on atmospheric warming.
