Climate Change – Clouds

Published November 16, 2012 at 320 × 320 in Images
Cloud modeling

Clouds are among the most difficult components of the Earth’s climate system to model. They typically vary on a scale that is not captured in today’s climate models and are one of the major contributors to the uncertainty in climate predictions. Mathematicians are using techniques from advanced geometry to characterize clouds and provide a more quantitative description of their role in the climate system.
