The study traced the shortfall to simulated clouds containing too much ice.

Building fairness into climate models could reshape who cuts emissions, who pays, and how countries reach the same global climate goals.

The climate models used by scientists today rely on some of the world’s most advanced supercomputers. It can take dozens of highly skilled people to build and then operate a modern-day climate model.

Warming-induced emissions from permafrost, wetlands, and wildfires could add up to 0.7°F by 2100, and most climate models leave them out.

Hybrid climate modeling has emerged as an effective way to reduce the computational costs associated with cloud-resolving models while retaining their accuracy. The approach retains physics-based ...

Clouds influence the climate by controlling how much sunlight reaches Earth and by absorbing and emitting heat. Over the ...

A new study over Antarctica has uncovered a surprising weakness in the way scientists model clouds and their impact on climate. Researchers found that even when computer simulations create the right ...

Paul J. Durack is a climate scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, California, USA. Carlo Buontempo is director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service at the European Centre ...

THE DIPLOMATIC ructions at COP29, the United Nations climate conference currently under way in the Azerbaijani capital of Baku, are based largely on computer models. Some model what climate change ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is bringing notable changes to atmospheric science, particularly with the introduction of large AI weather models like Pangu-Weather and GraphCast. However, alongside ...

Mathematicians have applied statistical mechanics to climate change detection and attribution for first time. They have shown how to separate the 'signal' of human-made climate change from the 'noise' ...
