Modeling

Climate

Climate
models
help
us
____________________
past
climate
and
predict
____________________
climate
.

.
Modelers
divide
earth's
surface
into
boxes
or
____________________
____________________

.
It
takes
____________________
grid
cells
to
cover
the
surface
of
the
earth
.

.
Each
grid
cell
has
information
about
:
-
whether
it
is
covered
in
____________________
or
____________________
and
the
proportion
-
what
is
on
the
land
,
including
____________________
,
____________________
,
____________________
,
____________________
-
the
characteristics
of
the
____________________

.
Within
each
grid
cell
models
simulate
the
movement
and
changes
in
____________________
,
____________________
,
and
____________________
.

.
These
processes
are
based
on
the
laws
of
____________________

.
A
climate
model
is
really
the
sum
total
of
a
bunch
of
____________________
____________________
.

.
Processes
in
one
part
of
the
world
affect
things
in
another
part
of
world
,
like
____________________
moving
from
one
grid
,
into
another
,
rising
over
a
____________________
,
and
leading
to
____________________
in
the
third
grid
cell
.

.
Models
also
incorporate
processes
happening
in
the
____________________
,
related
to
____________________
radiation
,
glaciers
,
and
____________________
activities
.

Because
of
the
complexity
of
models
____________________
are
needed
to
run
climate
simulations
