Concept information
Preferred term
climate model
Definition
- A coupled climate model is a computer code that estimates the solution to differential equations of fluid motion and thermodynamics to obtain time and space dependent values for temperature, winds and currents, moisture and/or salinity and pressure in the atmosphere and ocean. Components of a climate model simulate the atmosphere, the ocean, sea, ice, the land surface and the vegetation on land and the biogeochemistry of the ocean.
