Abstract: The seasonal cycle of SST observed in the eastern equatorial Pacific is poorly simulated by many ocean?atmosphere coupled GCMs. This deficiency may be partly due to an incorrect prediction of tropical marine stratocumulus ...

Abstract: A coupled atmosphere?ocean GCM (general circulation model) has been developed for climate predictions on seasonal to interannual timescales. The atmosphere model is a global spectral GCM T30L18 and the ocean model is global ...

Abstract: ecadal prediction experiments were conducted as part of phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) using the GFDL Climate Model, version 2.1 (CM2.1) forecast system. The abrupt warming of the North Atlantic ...

Abstract: The climate response to idealized changes in the atmospheric CO2 concentration by the new GFDL climate model (CM2) is documented. This new model is very different from earlier GFDL models in its parameterizations of ...

Abstract: ropical cyclones (TCs) are a hazard to life and property and a prominent element of the global climate system; therefore, understanding and predicting TC location, intensity, and frequency is of both societal and scientific ...
