摘要

2021年度诺贝尔物理学奖授予3位科学家,以表彰他们“对理解复杂物理系统的开创性贡献”。真锅淑郎(Syukuro Manabe)和克劳斯•哈塞尔曼(Klaus Hasselmann)共同分享了1/2的奖金,获奖理由是“对地球气候建立物理模型、量化可变性并可靠地预测全球变暖”。乔治•帕里西 (Giorgio Parisi)获得另外1/2的奖金,获奖理由是“发现从原子到行星尺度的物理系统中无序和涨落之间的相互影响”。文章介绍了这几位科学家的工作以及他们的贡献。

Abstract

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2021 was awarded to three scientists for groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex physical systems. Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann shared half of the prize for the physical modelling of Earth’s climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming. Giorgio Parisi received the other half of the prize for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales. In this article, we reviewed their scientific contributions.
