CESM (Community Earth System Model)

The Community Earth System Model (CESM) is a sophisticated computer simulation used by scientists to understand the Earth's climate and its interactions with the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, and ice. By modeling these interconnected systems, CESM helps researchers predict how climate change might affect weather patterns, ecosystems, and human activities. It combines various scientific disciplines, such as atmospheric science and oceanography, to provide a comprehensive picture of Earth’s climate dynamics, making it a crucial tool for policy-makers and environmental planners in addressing global warming and its impacts.
