Bjerknes Compensation in the CMIP5 Climate Models
Journal of Climate, 2018This study examines the atmospheric and oceanic heat transports in preindustrial control and historical runs of 15 fully coupled global climate models from the CMIP5 project. The presence of Bjerknes compensation is confirmed in all models by the strong anticorrelation and approximately equal magnitude of the anomalies of these heat transports ...

Systematic land climate and evapotranspiration biases in CMIP5 simulations [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2014 Land climate is important for human population since it affects inhabited areas. Here we evaluate the realism of simulated evapotranspiration (ET), precipitation, and temperature in the CMIP5 multimodel ensemble on continental areas. For ET, a newly compiled synthesis data set prepared within the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment‐sponsored ...

What Causes the AMOC to Weaken in CMIP5?
Journal of Climate, 2020AbstractIn a transient warming scenario, the North Atlantic is influenced by a complex pattern of surface buoyancy flux changes that ultimately weaken the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). Here we study the AMOC response in the CMIP5 experiment, using the near-geostrophic balance of the AMOC on interannual time scales to identify the ...

Representation of the Equatorial Undercurrent in CMIP5 Models
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2020AbstractThe Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC) is a vital component of tropical Pacific circulation, helping to modulate the state of the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Here we compare the representation of the EUC in models from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) with observations of the undercurrent.

The diurnal temperature range in the CMIP5 models
Climate Dynamics, 2014This paper analyzes the diurnal temperature range (DTR) over land in simulations of the recent past and in future projections by 20 models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5). The annually averaged DTR is evaluated for the present-day climate using two gridded datasets (HadGHCND and CRU).

QBO‐MJO Connection in CMIP5 Models
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2020AbstractRecent studies have shown that the quasi‐biennial oscillation (QBO) affects the boreal winter Madden‐Julian oscillation (MJO), its teleconnection, and even its subseasonal prediction skill. Despite its widespread influences, the QBO‐MJO connection has rarely been examined with a climate model. Here, we demonstrate that the QBO‐MJO connection is

Assessing the Reliability of Climate Models, CMIP5
2013In spite of the yet incomplete subsample of the 5th phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) model ensemble to date, evaluation of these models is underway. Novel diagnostics and analysis methods are being utilized in order to explore the skill of particular processes, the degree to which models have improved since CMIP3, and ...

CMIP5 downscaling and its uncertainty in China
Global and Planetary Change, 2016Abstract A comparison between the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) data and observations at 735 meteorological stations indicated that mean annual temperature (MAT) was underestimated about 1.8 °C while mean annual precipitation (MAP) was overestimated about 263 mm in general across the whole of China.

CMIP5 Project and Some Results
2018This chapter focused on Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, Phase 5 (CMIP5), and discussed various results. Starting from outlining very basic equations of global climate models (GCMs) as used in CMIP5 models, it described briefly about the aim and objective of the CMIP5 project.
