Princeton Climate System Model

The Princeton Climate System Model is a sophisticated computer simulation that scientists use to understand how Earth's climate works. It combines knowledge about the atmosphere, oceans, land, and ice to predict how different factors—like greenhouse gases or solar radiation—affect global temperatures and weather patterns. By running these simulations, researchers can explore future climate scenarios, assess potential impacts, and inform policy decisions. The model helps us understand the complex interactions within Earth's climate system, providing valuable insights into how our planet may change in response to human and natural influences.
