Evolution of Tropical Cyclone Properties Across the Development Cycle of the GISS‐E3 Global Climate Model [PDF]
The next‐generation global climate model from the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, GISS‐E3, contains many improvements to resolution and physics that allow for improved representation of tropical cyclones (TCs) in the model.

Clouds cover substantial parts of the Earth’s surface and they are one of the most essential components of the global climate system impacting the Earth’s radiation balance as well as the water cycle redistributing water around the globe as precipitation.

Robust Evaluation of ENSO in Climate Models: How Many Ensemble Members Are Needed?
Large ensembles of model simulations require considerable resources, and thus defining an appropriate ensemble size for a particular application is an important experimental design criterion.

Climate models simulate the atmosphere, given atmospheric composition and energy from the sun, and include explicit modeling of, and exchanges with, the underlying oceans, sea ice, and land. The models are based on physical principles governing momentum, thermodynamics, cloud microphysics, radiative transfer, and turbulence.

The future of climate modeling [PDF]
Recently a number of scientists have proposed substantial changes to the practice of climate modeling, though they disagree over what those changes should be. We provide an overview and critical examination of three leading proposals: the unified approach, the hierarchy approach and the pluralist approach.

Surface diabatic heating over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is crucial for the onset and development of Asian summer monsoon (ASM), which is closely connected with the snow melting and freeze–thaw (SM-FT) processes in spring.

The Climate Modelling Toolkit [PDF]
The Climate Modelling Toolkit (CliMT) is a Python-based software component toolkit providing a flexible problem-solving environment for climate science problems. It aims to simplify the development of models of complexity ’appropriate’ to the scientific question at hand.
