Pilot Ocean Model Intercomparison Protocol
ثبت نشده
چکیده
One aim of the Working Group on Ocean Model Development (WGOMD) is to stimulate the development of ocean models for research in climate. During its annual meeting in Hamburg (may 2002) the group has decided to examine the possibility and usefulness of an Ocean Model Intercomparison (OMIP), by launching a pilot phase (P-OMIP). The results of this pilot phase will be examined at the next annual meeting (Brest, April 2003). An OMIP will hopefully adress many goals:

متن کاملGlobal atmospheric forcing data for Arctic ice-ocean modeling
We compare three forcing data sets, all variants of NCEP forcing, in global ice-ocean simulations and evaluate them for use in Arctic model studies. The data sets include the standard Arctic Ocean Model Intercomparison Project (AOMIP) protocol, standard NCEP forcing fields, and the data set of Large and Yeager (2004). We explore their performance in Arctic simulations using a global, coupled, s...
متن کاملThe Southern Ocean in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5
The Southern Ocean is an important part of the global climate system, but its complex coupled nature makes both its present state and its response to projected future climate forcing difficult to model. Clear trends in wind, sea-ice extent and ocean properties emerged from multi-model intercomparison in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 3 (CMIP3). Here, we review recent analyses o...
متن کاملThe Role of Climate Sensitivity and Ocean Heat Uptake on AOGCM Transient Temperature Response
The role of climate sensitivity and ocean heat uptake in determining the range of climate model response is investigated in the second phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP2) AOGCM results. The fraction of equilibrium warming that is realized at any one time is less in those models with higher climate sensitivity, leading to a reduction in the temperature response range at th...
متن کاملDiscrepancies in tropical upper tropospheric warming between atmospheric circulation models and satellites
Recent studies have examined tropical upper tropospheric warming by comparing coupled atmosphere–ocean global circulation model (GCM) simulations from Phase 3 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP3) with satellite and radiosonde observations of warming in the tropical upper troposphere relative to the lower-middle troposphere. These studies showed that models tended to overestimate...
