Description
The GFDL develops and uses mathematical models and computer simulations to improve our understanding and prediction of the behavior of the atmosphere, the oceans, and climate. Since 1955 GFDL has set the agenda for much of the world research on the modeling of global climate change and has played a significant role in the World Meteorological Organization, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessments, and the U.S. Climate Change Science Program. The CM2.x models have become the workhorse model for GFDL climate research. They are being applied to topics focusing on decadal to centennial time scale issues, as well as to seasonal to inter-annual problems, such as El Nino research and experimental forecasts. Public data sets from GFDL are made available through the GFDL Data Portal.
