A Climate Prediction (or Climate Forecast) is the numerical weather prediction of the average or expected atmospheric and earth-surface conditions of temperature, precipitation, humidity, winds, and their range of variability that produces a most likely description or estimate of the actual evolution of the climate in the future for seasonal, interannual, or long term time scales. The Climate Prediction uses the models of tracing atmospheric gases (carbon dioxide and methane, for example), sea ice and glacier cover, changes in incoming solar radiation, and a host of other parameters.
