climate research
Studying atmospheric patterns
Climate research is the scientific study of Earth's climate systems—how they function, change over time, and respond to various influences.
The field encompasses analysis of temperature patterns, atmospheric composition, ocean currents, ice sheets, and their interactions.
Climate research draws on multiple disciplines including meteorology, oceanography, and geology: The climate research suggests warming will accelerate over the next century.
