Models as Tools and Feedback Loops

We increase our understanding of the climate system through observations and modeling. Reiterative improvements in global computer models of Earth's climate system have led to increasingly reliable projections of future climate change.

In this lesson you will learn:
1) The basics of climate models
2) Improvements in IPCC climate models
3) Definition of feedbacks
4) Examples of feedback mechanisms in Earth Science
