[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Climate Models

Perhaps to whet your appetites, try these links to get started:

https://weather.us/model-charts      and/or 
https://www.weather.gov/rnk/models

I have been trying to understand the background information regarding 
the 2021 Noble Prize in Physics ("For Groundbreaking Contributions to 
Our Understanding of Complex Physical Systems"; climate being one of the 
systems recognized and weather being subsumed within climate) since the 
prize was announced. I am still in the midst of it; it's difficult for 
me to comprehend without quite a bit of thought and I don't spend a lot 
of time with this subject.

Happy hunting!
