For their work in ‘the physical modeling of Earth’s climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming’, Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann were recognised.

2021 #NobelPrize laureate Klaus Hasselmann created a model that links together weather and climate. His methods have been used to prove that the increased temperature in the atmosphere is due to human emissions of carbon dioxide. pic.twitter.com/lWcGrm9SDW

Giorgio Parisi received the second part of the prize for “the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales.”

Manabe has United States and Japan’s origin, whereas Klaus Hasselmann is from Germany and Parisi is from Italy.
Goran Hansson, secretary-general of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the winners on Tuesday.
It is common for this award to be shared by multiple scientists who operate in relevant subjects. Last year, the prize was awarded to Andrea Ghez of the United States, Roger Penrose of the United Kingdom, and Reinhard Genzel of Germany for their work on black holes.
The prize includes a gold medal and a cash prize of 10 million Swedish kronor (about $1.14 million). The award money originates from a legacy left by Alfred Nobel, the prize’s originator, who died in 1895.
