The term 'General Circulation Models' as it applies to the area of carbon dioxide can be defined as ' Hydrodynamic models of the atmosphere on a grid or spectral resolution that determine the surface pressure and the vertical distributions of velocity, temperature, density, and water vapor as functions of time from the mass conservation and hydrostatic laws, the first law of thermodynamics, Newton's second law of motion, the equation of state, and the conservation law for water vapor. Abbreviated as GCM. Atmospheric general circulation models are abbreviated AGCM, while oceanic general circulation models are abbreviated OGCM'.

The term 'General Circulation Models' as it applies to the area of the weather can be defined as ' (GCMs) - These computer simulations reproduce the Earth's weather patterns and can be used to predict change in the weather and climate'.
