climate models

Most atmospheric models predict that the rate of transport of air from the troposphere to the above lying stratosphere should be increasing due to climate change.

Surprisingly, an international group of researchers has now found that this does not seem to be happening. On the contrary, it seems that the air air masses are moving more slowly than predicted.

This could also imply that recovery of the ozone layer may be somewhat slower than predicted by state-of-the-art atmospheric climate models.

(International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme) It appears that aerosol effects on clouds can induce large changes in precipitation patterns, which in turn may change not only regional water resources, but also may change the regional and global circulation systems that constitute the Earth's climate.

A group of scientists affiliated with the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program have proposed a new framework to account more accurately for the effects of aerosols on precipitation in climate models.

A new report evaluates computer models of the Earth's climate and their ability to simulate current climate change.

Yale University scientists may have resolved a controversial glitch in models of global warming: A key part of the atmosphere didn't seem to be warming as expected.

Computer models and basic principles predict atmospheric temperatures should rise slightly faster than, not lag, increases in surface temperatures.

Also, the models predict the fastest warming should occur at the Tropics at an altitude between eight and 12 kilometers.

The accuracy of computer models that predict climate change over the coming decades has been the subject of debate.

A new study by meteorologists shows that current climate models are quite accurate and can be valuable tools for those seeking solutions on reversing global warming trends.

Most of these models project a global warming trend that amounts to about 7 degrees Fahrenheit over the next 100 years.

Climate models together with population models provide quantitative evidence that the combined effects of climate change and anthropogenic pressures can explain the extinction of the woolly mammoths.

The pending federal decision about whether to protect the polar bear as a threatened species is as much about climate science as it is about climate change.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is currently considering a proposal to list the polar bear as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act, a proposal largely based on anticipated habitat loss in a warming Arctic.

They may be considered pests, but beavers can help mitigate the effects of drought. Climate models predict the incidence of drought in parts of North America will increase in frequency and length over the next 100 years, and beaver will likely play an important role in maintaining open water and mitigating the impact.
