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.

Famous quotes containing the word note:
“To note an artist’s limitations is but to define his talent. A reporter can write equally well about everything that is presented to his view, but a creative writer can do his best only with what lies within the range and character of his deepest sympathies.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
