Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences at Stockholm Sweden honoured the Japanese-American Syukuro Manabe, Klaus Hasselmann of Germany, and Giorgio Parisi of Italy for 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics.
- The three scientists were awarded for ground breaking contributions to our understanding of complex physical systems.
About Syukuro Manabe
i.Syukuro Manabe ,90, a Japanese-American meteorologist and climatologist who was born in 1931 at Shingu, Ehime Prefecture, Japan.
ii.He currently serves as senior meteorologist at the Princeton University, NJ, USA
iii.Syukuro Manabe has been recognized for the physical modelling of Earth’s climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming and specially for demonstrating how increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere lead to increased temperatures at the surface of the Earth.
