Abstract ATM-9318973 Kutzbach, John E. University of Wisconsin - Madison Title: An Interdisciplinary Research Program in Climatology Numerical climate models are used to study how changes in the earth's orbital parameters, the height of mountains and plateaus, and the location of continents may have influenced the evolution of earth's climate. The results of climate model experiments are then compared with the appropriate geological records to test the accuracy of the models and to understand the processes involved in large climatic changes. These processes include changes in atmospheric circulation, sea-ice, ocean currents, land vegetation, carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere, ice sheets, and sea-level and, therefore, an interdisciplinary approach is required. These studies will contribute to a better understanding of earth's climatic history and to an assessment of the accuracy of climate models for estimating possible future global change.

摘要ATM-9318973 Kutzbach，John E. 威斯康星州-麦迪逊大学题目：气候学跨学科研究计划 数值气候模式用于研究地球轨道参数、山脉和高原高度以及大陆位置的变化如何影响地球气候的演变。 然后将气候模型实验的结果与适当的地质记录进行比较，以检验模型的准确性，并了解大的气候变化所涉及的过程。 这些过程包括大气环流、海冰、洋流、陆地植被、大气二氧化碳含量、冰盖和海平面的变化，因此需要采取跨学科的办法。 这些研究将有助于更好地了解地球的气候历史，并有助于评估气候模型的准确性，以估计未来可能的全球变化。
