The formulae are complicated and require skilled mathematicians, atmospheric scientists, and powerful computers for execution. Five regimes that influence climate are often taken into consideration: atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, and pedosphere. Atmospheric and environmental physical laws as well as principles of thermodynamics and hydrodynamics are all used as part of the extensive mathematical parameters for the program. The results of these models are used as reference for other models, policy decisions, and by meteorologists. 3, record 6, English, - global%20climate%20model

[...] les modèles climatiques sont d'énormes logiciels qui simulent le fonctionnement de notre système climatique mondial en trois dimensions spatiales et dans le temps. Les modèles climatiques sont fondés sur les lois de la physique qui régissent la façon dont interagissent la matière et l'énergie. [...] Alors que les premiers modèles climatiques ne représentaient que les processus atmosphériques, les modèles «couplés» d'aujourd'hui reconnaissent que notre système climatique implique une myriade d'interactions complexes reliant l'atmosphère, les océans, les terres émergées et les masses glaciaires polaires. [...] Le modèle climatique mondial du Canada compte deux composantes principales : un modèle de circulation générale atmosphérique et un modèle de circulation océanique. 11, record 6, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20climatique%20mondial
