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 ...

Decades of independent observations and improved methods strengthen the evidence that greenhouse gases are changing Earth’s climate.

Changes in rainfall within global monsoon regions affect the livelihoods of billions. For years, climate models have suggested that the fingerprint of human-caused climate change on monsoons would ...

UCSB researchers develop a climate-based forecasting model to predict low birthweights in West Africa and curb malnutrition.

How climate models work, what they tell us and some of their limitations. Climate models are complex computer programs built on atmospheric science. Scientists input carbon emissions, warming, ...

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 ...

Antarctic sea ice ocean chemistry: new research in Nature Climate Change finds that sea ice collapse since 2016 has already ...

A day-by-day glacier model projects 5% to 10% more ice loss by 2100 than monthly models, adding up to 1.3 inches of sea level ...

Climate change is already shaping our wellbeing. It affects mental health, spreads infectious diseases, disrupts work, damages food supplies and forces families to leave their homes because of ...
