⛈️How can we make climate projections more reliable?⛈️

As climate change intensifies, predicting its impacts becomes increasingly challenging. One of the biggest challenges is simulating clouds, which play a key role in regulating Earth's climate. 

The team formed by Montserrat Costa Surós, Marios Chatziparaschos and Simone Vacondio, from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, improved how mixed-phase clouds are represented in the EC-Earth3 Earth system model using #MareNostrum5.

🔹 The simulations shed light on how ice forms and grows within clouds
🔹 The processes driving ice formation and multiplication vary in importance across climate models
🔹 These findings help us better understand the sources of uncertainty in climate projections and contribute to improving their reliability
