Atmosphere Ocean General Circulation Models (AOGCMs)

Atmosphere Ocean General Circulation Models (AOGCMs) are advanced computer simulations that replicate Earth's climate system by integrating the interactions between the atmosphere, oceans, land, and ice. They use mathematical equations to represent physical processes like wind patterns, ocean currents, and heat transfer. These models help scientists understand current climate behavior and predict future changes, such as global warming. By accurately capturing how different parts of the climate system influence each other, AOGCMs provide valuable insights for climate research, policy planning, and understanding the potential impacts of climate change on a global scale.
