General Circulation Models (GCM)
A)use data collected exclusively from high-resolution satellites.
B)use spectral models derived from energy released from the earth and clouds.
C)can be run on powerful home computers,allowing citizen scientists to run models.
D)use complicated two-dimensional grid systems that change temporally.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

GCMs use spectral models to simulate the Earth's climate by representing energy exchanges, including those from the Earth and clouds. They do not rely exclusively on satellite data, nor are they typically run on home computers due to their complexity. They use three-dimensional grid systems, not two-dimensional.
