A new open-access tool that dramatically speeds up the evaluation of climate models has been launched by an international team of scientists. The Rapid Evaluation Framework (REF) allows researchers to ...

Earth is absorbing heat at roughly twice the pace it was two decades ago, and the real-world measurements now sit well beyond what most climate models predicted. A peer-reviewed study published in ...

Current global climate models (GCMs) support with high confidence the view that rising greenhouse gases and other anthropogenic forcings account for nearly all observed global surface warming—slightly ...

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 ...

This graphical abstract summarizes the evaluation of CMIP6 historical simulations in representing multiyear El Niño events and their impacts on spring precipitation over southern China. While most ...

Imagine it’s a Saturday morning in Santa Monica in the year 2080. You brew your coffee, open your front door and breathe in the hot, dry air of ... San Bernardino? That’s the potential future if ...

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 ...

Climate models reveal that certain 3.6°F warming scenarios can produce more severe impacts than average projections at higher temperatures.

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 ...
