Global Climate Models (GCMs)
Definition
Global Climate Models (GCMs) are sophisticated models of the global climate system attempting to capture atmospheric, oceanic, ice, and terrestrial behaviour. A number of distinct models have been built up over the past 30 years, and they are still being improved. The CMIPs (Coupled Model Intercomparison Projects) make available periodic standardised comparisons of the output of these models for climate adaptation, mitigation, and resilience planning.
