Climate Science Laboratory
Unprecedented climate change is now occurring as a result of the increase of atmospheric greenhouse gases. Also, huge volcanic eruptions and variations in the sun's luminosity are known to have crucial effects on the climate, even if of relatively short duration. The Climate Science Laboratory creates simulations with general circulation models and chemistry-climate models to investigate the effect of each force impacting on climate change. In addition, we analyze observed meteorological data so as to reveal local- and global-scale signals of climate variation. |
