Description
Climate change is an urgent issue that requires a solid understanding of its causes and effects. This book explores how scientists use computer models to build a comprehensive picture of Earth's climate system, tracing the history of these models from humble beginnings in the 19th century to their current role in predicting future changes. The author draws on extensive visits to top climate research labs to explain the development and application of modern Earth system models. By examining the tools used by scientists, this accessible book provides insight into how projections of future climate change are made and why they are considered reliable. Ideal for anyone seeking a clear understanding of the scientific basis behind climate change projections, 'Computing the Climate' offers a concise and informative account of the role of computer models in shaping our knowledge of the Earth's climate system.
