Dr. Syukuro Manabe, retired (NOAA/GFDL) and currently with Princeton University, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2021 for his monumental work to develop a first-ever climate model that couples the atmosphere and the ocean, thereby opening the way to understanding and projecting climate change. During the half-century that follows Dr. Manabe's series of achievements in the 1960s, climate models have developed in various directions. With the improved reproducibility of the real global environment enabled by refining resolutions and accommodating complexities such as ecosystem functions, climate models have served not only to gain scientific insights on the mechanisms of various phenomena but also to solve real-world problems such as policy planning for adaptation and mitigation of climate change. In this session, we review the progress made in the field of climate modeling since its inception focusing on the contributions of Dr. Manabe, and discuss the future direction of the field, including possible collaborations with various fields together with the speakers and audience. This session is held as the sister session of U-10.
