Community Earth System Model

The Community Earth System Model (CESM) is a sophisticated computer simulation used by scientists to understand Earth's climate and environmental systems. It combines detailed representations of the atmosphere, oceans, land, and ice to study how they interact and respond to factors like greenhouse gases. By running these simulations, researchers can predict future climate patterns, assess impacts of emissions, and inform policy decisions. CESM helps us better grasp the complex dynamics of Earth's climate system and the potential effects of human activities on our planet's environment.
