Abstract

Climate and weather modeling have been recognized as one of the great computational grand challenges as far back as 1950, when the ENIAC system was used to perform the first numerical simulations of a highly simplified set of nonlinear atmospheric equations [6]. Developing hand in hand with improved observational platforms such as weather satellites, computer forecasts have become steadily more skillful, saving lives and reducing property losses through earlier warning times and more accurate predictions. In 1956, scientists first began computer-based simulations of the climate using a general circulation of the atmosphere [40]. The realism of such models improved in subsequent decades as computer capabilities increased, and when combined with new observations and improved theoretical understanding, this work slowly and convincingly revealed the role of anthropogenic carbon dioxide in changing the Earth’s climate.
