Our understanding of the climate system has been revolutionized recently, by the
development of sophisticated computer models. The predictions of such models are used to …

A basic requirement of climate models is to account for the effects of processes that cannot
be represented in spatial or temporal detail because of limitations imposed by resolution or …

Predictions of future climate are based on elaborate numerical computer models. As
computational capacity increases and better observations become available, one would …

Conceptual climate models are very simple mathematical representations of climate
processes, which are especially useful because their workings can be readily understood …

The provision of accurate methods for predicting the climate response to anthropogenic and
natural forcings is a key contemporary scientific challenge. Using a simplified and efficient …

A Google search for the keyword 'climate'on a cold summer day in August 2010 delivered
more than 150 million links in 0.23 s, and 'climate change'brought another 58 million …

The climate system of the earth is one of the most complex systems presently investigated by
scientists. The physical compartments—atmosphere, hydrosphere and cryosphere—can be …

There is a scientific consensus regarding the reality of anthropogenic climate change. This
has led to substantial efforts to reduce atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions and thereby …

Predictions of future climate are of central importance in determining actions to adapt to the
impacts of climate change and in formulating targets to reduce emissions of greenhouse …

We now know that the surface of the earth is warming as a result of mankind's activities. The
obvious question then is``can we predict changes in climate that will happen in the …
