Climate Model Foundations
External Models
Build a working understanding of how leading climate models are selected, interpreted, stress-tested, and translated into decision-ready signals for CE.
Learning Objectives
- Explain why no single climate model should be treated as universally best.
- Differentiate Earth system models, reanalysis products, and operational forecasting assets.
- Interpret uncertainty across scenario, model, and internal variability dimensions.
- Translate climate outputs into CE physical and transition pressure signals.
- Identify common forecast misuse patterns and how CE prevents them.
