Global Circulation Models – the basis for climate change science
... The global climate system is a result of the link of atmosphere, oceans, the ice sheets (cryosphere), living organisms (biosphere) and the soils, sediments and rocks (geosphere), each of which will be considered in greater detail after this. Each of these systems is integrally connected to the other ...
