A Department of Energy collaboration aims to make climate model development faster and more efficient by creating a prototype of a system for testing model components.
Global climate models
Climate Models Predict Diverse Arctic Ocean Shipping Routes
As ice melts, multiple models yield more detailed route predictions than any single model alone.
Visualizing the Climate's Future
Climate Inspector: A new Web-based approach to exploring global climate change across space and time.
Convection Cycles, Atmosphere, and Ocean Work Symbiotically
Scientists review studies of the tropical Madden-Julian Oscillation to better frame its role in air-sea interactions.
Low-Altitude Clouds Play an Important Role in a Changing Climate
Scientists uncover the mechanics behind tropical marine low cloud cover and its influence on models of anthropogenic climate change.
Climate Closure
In the battle of public opinion over climate change, we can play to science's strengths by shifting tactics: Instead of struggling to prove humans are to blame, let's prove denialist fantasies wrong.
Conquering Uncertainties in Tropical Climate Forecasts
The key to better predictions of atmospheric temperature trends in the tropics may lie in more accurate measurements of sea surface temperatures.
Warming Hiatus Periods to Become Increasingly Unlikely
Anthropogenic climate change is reducing the likelihood of the Earth seeing another slowdown in the rate of surface warming.
Developing Climate Model Comparisons
Experimental Design for CMIP6: Aerosols, Land Use, and Future Scenarios;
Aspen, Colorado, 4–8 August 2014
Changes in Earth’s Radiation Balance Between 1985 and 2012
A comparison of shortwave and longwave radiation in the atmosphere shows Earth’s heating rate is increasing even though temperatures are rising at a slower rate now than 30 years ago.
