Under certain scenarios on the subject of CO2 emissions, by theend of the century the atmospheric concentration could triple itspre-industrial level.
The very large numerical models intended to anticipate thecorresponding climate evolutions are designed and quantified fromthe laws of physics. However, little is generally known aboutthese: genesis of clouds, terms of the greenhouse effect, solaractivity intervention, etc.
This book deals with the issue of climate modeling in adifferent way: using proven techniques for identifying blackbox-type models. Taking climate observations from throughout themillennia, the global models obtained are validated statisticallyand confirmed by the resulting simulations.
This book thus brings constructive elements that can bereproduced by anyone adept at numerical simulation, whether anexpert climatologist or not. It is accessible to any readerinterested in the issues of climate change.
