Question

General Circulation Models (GCM) :_________

a) use data collected exclusively from high-resolution satellites.
b) use spectral models derived from energy released from the earth and clouds.
c) can be run on powerful home computers, allowing citizen scientists to run models.
d) use complicated two-dimensional grid systems that change temporally.

Answer 1

b)

Step-by-step explanation:

GCMs (general circulation models) are useful instruments for gaining a quantitative knowledge of climate processes. Physical processes in the atmosphere, cryosphere, and land surface are represented by them. They are used for modeling the global climate system's reaction to rising greenhouse gas concentrations available at the moment by utilizing spectral models based on the energy emitted by the biosphere and clouds.
