Looking for the mathematics so I can run climate change simulations

Asked by: Veronica Sniadecki Can mathematical models be used to predict climate change? To date, mathematical modelling remains the only method and effective tool that is used to predict the climate system’s evolution under the influence of natural and anthropogenic perturbations. How mathematics is used in climate? By calculating averages, analyzing variance and making diagrams,

Will the next ENSO event be of modoki type?

Asked by: Veronica Sniadecki What is ENSO modoki? The El Niño Modoki involves ocean-atmosphere coupled processes which include a unique tripolar sea level pressure pattern during the evolution, analogous to the Southern Oscillation in the case of El Niño. Hence the total entity is named as El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Modoki. What is the ENSO

For fine particles to get dispersed throughout the globe via atmospheric circulation, in what level of the atmosphere would they have to travel?

Asked by: Phil Mayer What is the global atmospheric circulation? The global circulation can be described as the world-wide system of winds by which the necessary transport of heat from tropical to polar latitudes is accomplished. In each hemisphere there are three cells (Hadley cell, Ferrel cell and Polar cell) in which air circulates through

Is altitude of everything decreasing due to sea level rise?

Asked by: Jie Molemogi Does altitude change with sea level? A hypothetical sphere called the geoid is actually used as a baseline measure for altitude, which won’t change any time soon. It’s not that simple. Although average height of the sea is rising, this does not affect Mean Sea Level (MSL). MSL is a reference

Cloud in a bottle experiment. Why does the “cloud” get thicker with repeated squeezing?

Asked by: Heather Morris What happens to the cloud as you squeeze the bottle? When we squeezed the bottle, the cloud disappeared because of high pressure and compressional warming with the molecules close together in the bottle. The smoke from the match we dropped in was crucial because it provided condensation nuclei on which the
