This Canada Research Chair in Atmospheric and Climate Dynamics supports Professor Timothy Merlis's group at McGill University. Anthropogenic climate change is one of the greatest challenges faced by humans in this century. The research undertaken with this Canada Research Chair endeavors to reduce the uncertainty of the physical climate system in future climate projections, including changes in hazards like extreme rainfall and cyclones. Improvements in both projections and the underlying mechanisms of climate change will enhance society's ability to pursue adaption and mitigation strategies to address this challenge.

加拿大大气和气候动力学研究主席支持麦吉尔大学蒂莫西·梅里斯教授的小组。人为气候变化是本世纪人类面临的最大挑战之一。与加拿大研究主席一起进行的研究努力减少未来气候预测中物理气候系统的不确定性，包括极端降雨和旋风等灾害的变化。对气候变化预测和基本机制的改进将增强社会执行适应和缓解战略以应对这一挑战的能力。
