Speaker: Neal Graham, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Abstract: Scientists leverage Global Circulation Models (GCMs) and Earth System Models (ESMs) to study how atmospheric and oceanic changes may evolve in time due to our complex and changing climate. For example, these models allow us to understand how precipitation and temperature may change in a world with radiative forcing of 2.6 W/m2 at ...
