Climate scientists are confronting a hard truth: some of the most widely used models are struggling to keep up with the pace and texture of real‑world warming. The physics at their core remains sound, ...

Something has shifted in the way climate scientists talk about their own work. The language has become noticeably more ...

Hybrid climate modeling has emerged as an effective way to reduce the computational costs associated with cloud-resolving models while retaining their accuracy. The approach retains physics-based ...

After a record fall, when nearly the entire United States experienced drought—unprecedented in US Drought Monitor history—water managers and planners nationwide are nervously hoping for a wet winter, ...

Climate change is already shaping our well-being. It affects mental health, spreads infectious diseases, disrupts work, damages food supplies and forces families to leave their homes because of ...

At the end of the 19th century Svante Arrhenius, a Swedish chemist, made one of the first concerted attempts to work out the relationship between Earth’s average temperature and the amount of carbon ...

Climate models are complex, just like the world they mirror. They simultaneously simulate the interacting, chaotic flow of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans, and they run on the world’s largest ...

East Asia’s rainiest summer in decades became a brutal test for the next generation of climate models. The question was not ...

Suppose you ask a meteorologist for a weather forecast to help with planning a picnic for tomorrow. She gives you a detailed, technically sophisticated weather forecast for Mars. Every equation ...

From emissions tracking to flood forecasting, AI is already tackling climate change. These five organizations show what works ...
