Studying the Implications of Global Climate Change: The Earth Simulator's Role in Forecasting Extreme Weather Events

British and Japanese scientists are collaborating on a study to understand global climate change using the Earth Simulator, a large climate modeling computer in Yokohama. This system can simulate Earth's climate over the next 100 years with unprecedented resolution. The study aims to provide accurate forecasts of extreme weather and a reliable guide to long-term climate variation, as climate change is now accepted as a fact by climatologists.
