Climate Observations and Modelling

Climate observations and modelling involves using data from ground, aircraft, and satellite-based observations of features of the Earth’s climate, such as temperature and precipitation, to build models that can predict future climate. This technology is used by researchers to understand past and current climate change and to forecast future changes. It is also used by governments and businesses to inform strategies for strategies for climate adaptation and to develop policies to promote sustainability. By understanding how the Earth’s climate is changing and will continue to change, we can better devise plans to reduce the impact of climate change, while also better preparing for and mitigating against its effects.
