Philosophical Perspectives on Earth System Modeling: Truth, Adequacy, and Understanding

Abstract We explore three questions about Earth system modeling that are of both scientific and philosophical interest: What kind of understanding can be gained via complex Earth system models? How can the limits of understanding be bypassed or managed? How should the task of evaluating Earth system...
