klímamodelleket
Klímamodelleket, or climate models, are sophisticated computer programs designed to simulate the Earth's climate system. They are based on fundamental scientific principles of physics and chemistry that govern atmospheric and oceanic processes. These models divide the Earth's surface and atmosphere into a grid and use mathematical equations to represent interactions between different components of the climate, such as the sun, atmosphere, oceans, land surface, and ice.
The primary purpose of climate models is to understand past and present climate changes and to project
Climate models are continuously being improved as scientific understanding grows and computational power increases. They are
