Half of the prize will be awarded for reliable forecasting of global warming, and the other half for the analysis of complex physical systems.
The Nobel Prize winners in physics in 2021 were the German Klaus Hasselman, the Italian Giorgio Parisi and the Japanese American Shukuro Manabe. Their names were announced on October 5 by the Nobel Committee.
It is noted that Hasselman and Manabe received the award for “physical modeling of the earth’s climate and quantitative analysis of variations and reliable prediction of global warming”, and Parisi – for “discovering how disorder and fluctuations interact in physical systems on scales from atoms to planets.”
Thus, the cash prize of SEK 10 million (about $ 1.1 million) will be split: Manabe and Hasselman will receive one part of the funds, and Parisi will receive the other half.
