Climate science is a multidisciplinary field that studies the Earth's climate system, including the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, and ice. It seeks to understand the patterns and processes that govern the earth's climate, and how they are changing over time due to natural and human-induced factors. Climate scientists use a variety of methods, including computer modeling, satellite observations, and paleoclimate data, to study past climate variations and predict future changes. The goal of climate science is to improve our understanding of climate dynamics and variability, and to inform policies and strategies for mitigating and adapting to climate change.
