Summary
Climate models are systems of differential equations based on the basic <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/laws_of_physics" class="extiw" title="en:laws of physics">laws of physics</a>, fluid motion, and chemistry. To “run” a model, scientists divide the planet into a 3-dimensional grid, apply the basic equations, and evaluate the results. Atmospheric models calculate winds, heat transfer, radiation, relative humidity, and surface hydrology within each grid and evaluate interactions with neighboring points.
