Editor's Picks:

- Provides, for the UK Government, an assessment of both natural and man-made climate change. Offers accesible information on climate modeling and climate change in general, with particular emphasis on data from the Hadley Centre models.

- Research group focusing on remote sensing and computer simulation of terrestrial ecosystem processes, with active projects at local, regional, continental, and global scales.
- German Climate Research Centre, Hamburg. Provides information in English on the Institute and their research.
- Information on climate models and research activities.
- Observes and models the hydrologic cycle and energy fluxes in the atmosphere, at the land surface, and in the upper oceans. GEWEX is an integrated program ultimately leading to the prediction of global and regional climate change.
- PIRCS is an international program to evaluate strengths and weaknesses of regional climate models by comparing how well these models are able to simulate present-day climate.
- An overview of paleoclimatological, observational and modeling evidence to identify causes and impacts of past and future climate changes. Includes a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page.
- CSIRO's Climate Modelling and Applications Team seeks a better understanding of climate and its variations in order to assess the way in which climate is likely to change in future due to the enhanced greenhouse effect and to natural climatic variability.
- The research division of the National Meteorological Service in Australia.
- A U.S. Department of Energy program to rapidly advance the science of decade- and longer-scale climate prediction.
- Aims to harness the power of PCs in homes and businesses to predict the climate of the 21st century. Individuals can register to take part when the experiment starts (likely sometime 2001).
- Information and long term predictions from the climate division of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego.
- Aims to improve understanding of the Indonesian maritime continent climate variability as an aid natural resource development through cooperative work with both national and international scientific communities
- Aims to strengthen the role of the UK universities in the vital area of numerical modelling of the large scale atmosphere.
- Information (in English) on the centre's climate modelling activities is provided in the 'introduction' link.
- Provides information on their climate simulations and on their current research.
- Information on climate mdoling studies at the Goddard Institute.
- An interdisciplinary research effort within the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) focussing on the variability and predictability of the slowly varying components of the climate system. It investigates the physical and dynamical processes in the cli
- Conducts research to enhance our ability to accurately predict changes in the global environment. Areas of interest include Convection, Atmospheric Water Vapor, and Cloud Formation; Oceans and Ocean-Atmosphere Coupling; Land Surface Hydrology and Hydrolo
- The National Center for Atmospheric Research's division devoted to climate modelling. Provide newsletters and an overview of their research.
- A division of the Climate Research Branch of Environment Canada's Meteorological Service of Canada. Site provides an overview of research and information on their models and results.
- News, articles, data and other information on climate modelling.
