The role of climate modelling in understanding past and present climate
How can we measure climate? And how do we monitor the changing climate?
Observations are fundamental in defining climate, as they provide long-term data on atmospheric conditions. Meteorological stations, satellites, and historical records help scientists track patterns and distinguish between natural variability and significant changes. Climate models further refine understanding by simulating past, present, and future conditions using mathematical equations. These models incorporate observational data to reconstruct historical climates, analyze current trends, and project future scenarios based on different greenhouse gas emission levels.
