Rethinking Vegetation Optics in Climate Models
By Renato Braghiere Vegetation plays a critical role in regulating Earth’s climate by absorbing sunlight, exchanging moisture with the atmosphere, and sequestering carbon. Yet, how vegetation is represented in climate models has remained surprisingly static for decades. Most climate models use a simplified classification called plant functional types (PFTs) —…
Constraining 21st century ocean circulation changes
The ocean contains a system of currents that connects different ocean basins. A significant feature of this system is found in the Atlantic Ocean basin and often referred to as the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). The AMOC is crucial because it transports warm water northward and helps circulate water between the deep ocean and the…

🌍 CliMA is developing an #ESM with independent atmosphere, ocean, and land components. Each can be run alone for focused studies or together for global climate predictions. ClimaCoupler.jl links these models, facilitating data exchange and comprehensive analysis. Read blog about it: bit.ly/3W7FW…
