Climate prediction
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004349
The scientific endeavor of forecasting future climate conditions based on an understanding of Earth's climate system and its driving forces. This involves using complex numerical models that simulate atmospheric, oceanic, land surface, and cryospheric processes. Predictions can range from seasonal outlooks to projections spanning decades or centuries, providing information on temperature, precipitation, and extreme weather event probabilities.
