Climate Models Are Uncertain, but We Can Do Something About It

by K. S. Carslaw, L. A. Lee, L. A. Regayre and J. S. Johnson 26 February 201829 September 2021

Model simulations of many climate phenomena remain highly uncertain despite scientific advances and huge amounts of data. Scientists must do more to tackle model uncertainty head-on.

When Less Is More: Opening the Door to Simpler Climate Models

by L. M. Polvani, A. C. Clement, B. Medeiros, J. J. Benedict and I. R. Simpson 25 September 201729 September 2021

Earth system models are resource intensive and complex. To cut through this complexity, the Community Earth System Model project will now be embracing a hierarchy of simpler climate models.
