What Does GCM Stand For?
GCM stands for General Circulation Model
GCM, or General Circulation Model, refers to a complex mathematical model used in climate science to simulate and predict atmospheric and oceanic processes. These models represent the Earth's climate system by solving fundamental physical equations that govern fluid dynamics and thermodynamics. GCMs are essential tools for understanding climate behavior, assessing climate change impacts, and informing policy decisions related to environmental management and sustainability.
