Global Climate Model - Note On Nomenclature

Note On Nomenclature

The acronym "GCM" can be used both for "global climate model" and also for "general circulation model." While these do not refer to exactly the same thing, Global Circulation Models are typically the tools used for modeling climate, and hence the two terms are sometimes used as if they were interchangeable. For information on climate modelling, see: Climate model.
