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 ...

Ozone changes could add about 0. 268 watts of warming influence per square meter between 2015 and 2050 under a high-pollution climate scenario, about 40% more than earlier estimates.

The Curiosity rover was sent up the Mount Sharp, the biggest sediments stack on Mars. On the way, it collected samples that indicated a portion of carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere might have ...

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

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 ...

Earth System Models (ESM) are our main tool for projecting the impacts of climate change. However, running these models at sufficient resolution for local-scale risk-assessments is not computationally ...

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

The algorithms behind generative AI tools like DallE, when combined with physics-based data, can be used to develop better ways to model the Earth's climate. Computer scientists have now used this ...

Soil moisture–atmosphere feedback (SAF) is expected to accelerate warming in the future, but its influences on the terrestrial water cycle over non-traditional hotspots of land–atmosphere coupling ...

New research reveals how a climate model commonly used by geoscientists currently overestimates a key physical property of Earth’s climate system called albedo. Albedo is the degree to which ice ...

Maria Temming: In 2021, a historic heat wave baked the Pacific Northwest killing hundreds of people and fueling wildfires. Researchers later reported that human-caused climate change made this heat ...
