Climate Modeling and Prediction

The climate model, which virtually simulates our climate system, is a useful tool to understand and predict climate phenomena and climate changes. A hypothesis from the data analysis can be proved and supported by climate modeling. Climate System Laboratory (CSL) conducts research for improving climate models to accurately represent climate phenomena and increase climate predictability. In addition, we are interested in predicting multi-decadal climate variability, which mutually interacts with biogeochemical processes, carbon cycle, and other factors. Practically, we have contributed to having better climate predictability over the Korean Peninsula, collaborating with Korea Meteorological Administration.
