Development and Evaluation of High Resolution Climate System Models

Authors: Yu, R., Zhou, T., Wu, T., Xue, W., Zhou, G.
Summarizes the recent progress of China in the development of high resolution climate models
Explores how to establish a flexible multi-model ensemble modeling tool
Presents mertics for gauging model performance over East Asian-western Pacific, in particular for summer monsoons over East Asia

This book is based on the project “Development and Validation of High Resolution Climate System Models” with the support of the National Key Basic Research Project under grant No. 2010CB951900. It demonstrates the major advances in the development of new, dynamical Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AGCM) and Ocean General Circulation Model (OGCM) cores that are suitable for high resolution modeling, the improvement of model physics, and the design of a flexible, multi-model ensemble coupling framework. It is a useful reference for graduate students, researchers and professionals working in the related areas of climate modeling and climate change.
