Coupled Climate Model

A coupled climate model is a computer simulation that combines different components of Earth's climate system—such as the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, and ice sheets—to better understand their interactions and collective behavior. By integrating these elements, the model predicts how changes in one part, like increased greenhouse gases, can influence the entire system over time. This holistic approach allows scientists to improve forecasts of climate change, sea level rise, and weather patterns, providing a more accurate and comprehensive picture of future environmental conditions.
