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.

To meet these goals, the state is facilitating burgeoning carbon capture and sequestration (or storage) (CCS) technologies that capture carbon from point sources to store, as well as carbon dioxide removal (CDR), which removes carbon from the atmosphere.
