Syukuro "Suki" Manabe is a Japanese–American physicist, meteorologist, and climatologist, who pioneered the use of computers to simulate global climate change and natural climate variations. He was awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics jointly with Klaus Hasselmann and Giorgio Parisi, for his contributions to the physical modeling of Earth's climate, quantifying its variability, and predictions of climate change. The Nobel Prize in Physics 2021, announced October 5, 2021. Syukuro Manabe (1/4), “for the physical modelling of Earth’s climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming”. Klaus Hasselmann (1/4), “for the physical modelling of Earth’s climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming”. Giorgio Parisi (1/2), “for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales”. Syukuro Manabe: born 1931, Shingu, Ehime, Japan.
