CLIMATE GROUP
The study of the climate system, and of climate evolution, has come to occupy a pivotal position in Earth scientific research. Depending upon the temporal and spatial scales of interest, the focus may be upon single climate system components - atmosphere, oceans, cryosphere, biosphere, or upon the interactions between some or all of these elements simultaneously.

The UofT Atmospheric Physics Group currently provides leadership to national programs in Polar Climate Stability, involving the study of both past and future climate changes, especially focussed upon the Arctic, and in Modelling of Global Chemistry for Climate, focussed upon the co-evolution of climate and atmospheric trace gas concentrations, especially ozone. The work is supported by a recently acquired NEC SX-6 vector supercomputer, one of the most powerful computing systems in Canada.
