Prof. Bates's current research interests are in theoretical and observational aspects of the global climate. He is particularly interested in the mechanisms that keep the global climate stable at its current equilibrium and that determine its sensitivity to external forcing such as that due to CO2 increase. He is involved in estimating climate sensitivity using energy balance models and satellite observations of the Earth’s radiative response to surface temperature variations.
