Coupled Climate-Carbon Cycle Models

Coupled climate-carbon cycle models are advanced computer simulations that examine how the Earth's climate and its carbon systems interact. They integrate processes like greenhouse gas emissions, vegetation response, and atmospheric changes to predict how activities like burning fossil fuels affect global temperature and carbon levels over time. By linking climate dynamics with carbon exchanges between the atmosphere, land, and oceans, these models help scientists understand potential future scenarios, policy impacts, and climate change mitigation strategies more accurately.
