Intermediate General Circulation Model

ID: intermediate-general-circulation-model

An Intermediate General Circulation Model (IGCM) is a type of numerical model used in meteorology and climate science to simulate the Earth's atmosphere and its interactions with the oceans, land surface, and ice. These models are designed to represent the basic physical principles governing atmospheric circulation, including the conservation of momentum, mass, and energy, using a simplified, yet comprehensive, representation of the atmosphere.
