Community Earth System Model (CESM)

The Community Earth System Model (CESM) is a powerful computer simulation used by scientists to understand how different parts of the Earth's system interact. It combines models of the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, and ice to study climate change and predict future environmental shifts. By simulating these complex interactions, CESM helps researchers analyze past climate events, assess current climate conditions, and forecast future scenarios. This information is crucial for policymakers and communities to develop strategies for mitigating the impacts of climate change and adapting to a warming world.
