Right now, the world's best weather forecast model is a General Circulation Model, or GCM, put together by the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. A GCM is in part based on code ...

Shutdown Of Circulation Pattern Could Be Disastrous, Researchers Say Date: December 20, 2004 Source: University Of Illinois At Urbana-Champaign Summary: If global warming shuts down the ...

Unlike the polar vortices observed in the Earth, Mars and Titan atmospheres, the observed Venus polar vortex is warmer than the midlatitudes at cloud-top levels (∼65 km). This warm polar ...

In this work we describe a new Venus Middle atmosphere general circulation Model (VMM) to study the dynamics of the atmosphere at cloud altitudes. The model simulates the atmosphere from just ...

Meteorological modeling has developed from a simple primary model of reproducing behaviors of atmospheric columns from the ground to the sky, to a general circulation model calculating three ...

General circulation models, on the other hand, which have dominated weather prediction for the last 50 years, use complex equations to model changes in the atmosphere and give accurate projections ...
