A brief history of numerical weather prediction and development of climate models both in the world and in Japan is reviewed, and physical processes to determine climate and how to simulate climate are explained as well. Then impacts of the Earth Simulator on climate modeling is discussed. It is reminded that climate scientists in Japan encounter a difficult situation arising from the fact that Japanese climate science community is relatively small and young having been given small computer resources so far, but now the community is getting the world's biggest computer. Ways how to exploit the coming Earth Simulator are discussed especially in the context of global warming prediction.
