Abstract: In a set of idealized ?aquaplanet? experiments with an atmospheric general circulation model to which zonally uniform sea surface temperature (SST) is prescribed globally as the lower boundary condition, an assessment is ...

Abstract: High-resolution simulations of the atmospheric and oceanic general circulations on the Earth Simulator are briefly introduced to a wider research and educational community. Some early results have been published and are ...

Abstract: A conservative semi-Lagrangian scheme with rational function for interpolation is implemented in spherical geometry and tested in an atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM). The new scheme, different from the conventional ...
