The definitions below refer to Adaptation to Climate Change.

Definitions

European Definitions

RESIN project

The RESIN project [1] gives the following definition:

A numerical representation of the climate system based on the physical, chemical and biological properties of its components, their interactions and feedback processes, and accounting for some of its known properties.[2]


Other International Definitions

UNISDR/IPCC

Climate model is a numerical representation of the climate system based on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of its components,their interactions and feedback processes, and accounting for all or some of its known properties. [3]




National Definitions

Germany

A climate model uses figures to describe a climate system. depending on its complexity, it may include a larger or smaller number of physical, chemical and biological attributes. [4]

It calculates interactions and feedback processes – for example the relationship between temperature, marine currents and ice formation. Interactive climate models are used to understand the influence of different factors, simulate changes and create forecasts.

Peru

Modelo climático: Representación numérica del sistema climático basada en las propiedades físicas, químicas y biológicas de sus componentes, en sus interacciones y en sus procesos de retroefecto, y que recoge todas o algunas de sus propiedades conocidas. [5]

El sistema climático se puede representar mediante modelos de diverso grado de complejidad; en otras palabras, para cada componente o conjunto de componentes es posible identificar una jerarquía de modelos que difieren en aspectos tales como el número de dimensiones espaciales, el grado en que aparecen representados los procesos físicos, químicos o biológicos, o el grado de utilización de parametrizaciones empíricas. Los modelos de circulación general acoplados atmósfera/océano/hielo marino (MCGAAO) proporcionan la más completa representación del sistema climático actualmente disponible. Se está evolucionando hacia modelos más complejos que incorporan química y biología interactivas. Los modelos climáticos se utilizan como herramienta de investigación para estudiar y simular el clima y para fines operacionales, en particular predicciones climáticas mensuales, estacionales e interanuales (IPCC, 2007).

United States

AMS
Climate model is a model used to make forecasts or simulations of climate. [6]
