are used all over the world, based on calculations that quantify the effects of physical mechanisms and the way different parts of the atmosphere are connected to each other. The physics-based models describe how energy flows through the atmosphere and ocean, as well as how the forces from different air masses push against each other.

The correlation had been shown in a paper by an author outside the conventional scientific community, so, for good measure, Simpson added that a non-expert could not properly appreciate how atmospheric circulation affects the absorption of radiation. One was Eunice Foote , a 19th-century American scientist. 139 1961 ).

As air sunk through the atmosphere, it got squeezed and heated. One key challenge is to quantify the different combinations of heat and humidity, then to link them with different health outcomes,” says Eunice Lo, a physicist-turned-climate scientist at the University of Bristol , UK.

As climate scientists we tend to look at the IPCC reports a little differently than the general public might. Here are a few things that mark this report out from previous versions that relate to issues we’ve discussed here before: Extreme events are increasingly connected to climate (duh!) 1981) which can be seen here.
