Climate Modelling I: An Interesting Introduction

In the next posts we will be submerged in different existing approaches of climate modelling, probably the spinal core of a endless number of models currently used to predict the effect of global environmental change on our planet. Therefore, as an introduction, I recommend you to see this interesting talk given by Dr. Gavin Schmidt, Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS).

During the lecture, called "The Emergent Patterns of Climate Change", two of the most relevant challenges related to climate modelling have been highlighted: first, the coexistence of multiple complex variables and second, the scale of modelling, from local phenomena until global simulations. Enjoy!
