* '''Climate Model''' — A "Mathematical Representation" of the "Physical, Chemical, and Biological" processes that affect the Earth's climate.
* '''GCM (General Circulation Model)''' — A complex "3D Model" that simulates the "Atmosphere" and "Ocean" on a "Grid" across the whole planet.
* '''Resolution''' — The "Detail" of the model: "High Resolution" means "Smaller Grid Squares" (e.g., '10km' vs '100km'), allowing for better "Weather" and "Mountain" effects.
* '''Ensemble Modelling''' — Running "Many different models" with "Slightly different settings" to see where they all "Agree" (The 'Consensus').
* '''RCP (Representative Concentration Pathways)''' — The "Possible Futures" based on "How much CO2 we emit":
** **RCP 2.6**: "Extreme Action" (We stay below 2°C).
** **RCP 8.5**: "Business as Usual" (We keep burning coal; +4°C).
* '''Parametrization''' — Using "Simple Formulas" to represent "Small Things" that the model can't "See" (e.g., 'A Single Cloud').
* '''Coupled Model''' — A model that "Links" the "Ocean" and "Atmosphere" together so they can "Talk" to each other.
* '''Hindcasting''' — Testing a model by "Running it Backwards" to see if it can "Predict the Past" correctly.
* '''Climate Sensitivity''' — (See Article 526). The "Key Number" in every model: "How much warming for a doubling of CO2?"
* '''CMIP (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project)''' — The "Global Olympic Games" for climate models, where scientists "Compare" their results.
