Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL)

The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) is a research center operated by the U.S. NOAA that studies the behavior of Earth's fluids—like air and ocean currents. Using advanced computer models, GFDL helps understand and predict climate change, weather patterns, and environmental processes. Its work provides critical insights into how our planet's climate system operates, aiding policymakers and scientists in making informed decisions to address environmental challenges. GFDL combines scientific expertise with high-powered technology to improve our understanding of the dynamic Earth system.
