"Circulation models" refer to scientific techniques or computer programs that are used to simulate or predict the movement and distribution of various substances, such as air, water, or energy, in a system or environment. These models help scientists understand how these substances flow and interact, providing valuable information for studying weather patterns, ocean currents, climate change, and other processes.
Full definition
Climate models, also known as
general circulation models of the climate system, are used to investigate and understand climate variability and change.
No studies have systematically explored the extent of such control, however, in part because of the computational expense of running general
circulation models with comprehensive aerosol chemistry.
This thesis presents the results of several general
circulation model simulations aimed at studying the effect of ocean circulation changes when they occur in conjunction with increased atmospheric trace gas concentrations.
We applied the same method used in the observational analysis on general
circulation model data to decrease the statistical uncertainty at the expense of an increased systematic uncertainty.
Future development of the ozone layer calculated by a general
circulation model with fully interactive chemistry.
«Their prediction of 1.35 degrees C [TCR] is, even if correct, only 25 % lower than the average of the general
circulation models used in the IPCC 5th Assessment.
Methods: In these experiments, the research team conducted large ensembles of simulations with two state - of - the - art atmospheric general
circulation models by abruptly switching the sea - surface temperature warming on from January 1st to focus on the wintertime circulation adjustment.
But Dr William Ball from ETH Zurich, who led the analysis, said: «The finding of declining low - latitude ozone is surprising, since our current best atmospheric
circulation models do not predict this effect.
CMIP was established as a resource for climate modelers, providing a standard protocol for studying the output of coupled atmosphere - ocean general
circulation models so that these models can be compared and validated.
Output from global
circulation models indicates that climate variability will continue to be an important characteristic of the region in the future [52], but that climate change may increase the risk of extreme climatic events such as multi-decade droughts and extreme winter precipitation [53], [54].
Statistical downscaling of general
circulation model outputs to precipitation, evaporation and temperature using a key station approach
They point east, exactly opposite of what would be expected from the moon's prevailing winds, which atmospheric
circulation models suggest must blow westward.
Furthermore, the statistical methodology that is used to estimate the model can successfully recover the values for the transient climate response from temperature simulations generated by the coupled atmosphere - ocean general
circulation models run for CMIP (26).

Circulation Model ECHAM4: Model Description and Simulation of Present - Day Climate.
Some global
circulation models also project that mean winter precipitation in the Southwest will decline by up to 10 % [52], but it may take many years to detect effects on stream flows because of precipitation variability [55].
We find, when all seven models are considered for one representative concentration pathway × general
circulation model combination, such uncertainties explain 30 % more variation in modeled vegetation carbon change than responses of net primary productivity alone, increasing to 151 % for non-HYBRID4 models.
Scientists run general
circulations models against these scenarios to project future climate conditions, including atmospheric carbon concentrations.
In a warmer future climate, most Atmosphere - Ocean General
Circulation Models project increased summer dryness and winter wetness in most parts of the northern middle and high latitudes.
Combining turtle movement data with ocean
circulation models aids scientists in understanding how juvenile turtles orient themselves in response to a current flow.
«This study confirmed that ocean circulation physics and K. brevis biology are equally important and that both immediate and short term prediction may be achieved using a combination of
circulation models supported by in situ observations of physical, biological and chemical variables and satellite imagery,» concluded the researchers.
The delta method interpolates the General
Circulation Model generally used in climate modelling at scales of 100 to 200 km using a thin plate spline spatial interpolation method to achieve the 30 arc seconds resolution [52].
More publishers seem to be interested in annual or two - year license expiration dates, which makes the HarperCollins 26
circulation model look good in comparison.»

circulation model fixes are required as there is a fairly long list of unexplained anomalies.
