The accuracy of climate predictions depends crucially on how the ocean circulation of the North Atlantic is incorporated into climate models, a TiPES-study shows Thirty state-of-the-art IPCC-climate models predict dramatically different climates for the Northern Hemisphere, especially Europe. An analysis … Continued
