3 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Climate Science.

• Climate as complex networks — A climate-analysis framework representing spatial locations or variables as nodes and statistically significant dependence between their time series as edges.
• Cloud feedback — Quantify how a climate-driven change in cloud amount, altitude, phase, optical depth, or spatial distribution alters shortwave and longwave top-of-atmosphere radiation and thereby amplifies or damps the initiating temperature change.
• General circulation model — A three-dimensional numerical model of planetary atmosphere or ocean circulation built from fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and radiative or surface processes.
