Requirements for a global data infrastructure in support of CMIP6 [PDF]
The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP)’s Working Group on Climate Modelling (WGCM) Infrastructure Panel (WIP) was formed in 2014 in response to the explosive growth in size and complexity of Coupled Model Intercomparison Projects (CMIPs) between ...

Optimizing domain decomposition in an ocean model: the case of NEMO [PDF]
Earth System Models are critical tools for the study of our climate and its future trends. These models are in constant evolution and their growing complexity entails an incrementing demand of the resources they require.

How does dynamical downscaling affect model biases and future projections of explosive extratropical cyclones along North America’s Atlantic coast? [PDF]
Explosive extratropical cyclones (EETCs) are rapidly intensifying low pressure systems that generate severe weather along North America’s Atlantic coast.

The Mediterranean climate change hotspot in the CMIP5 and CMIP6 projections [PDF]
The enhanced warming trend and precipitation decline in the Mediterranean region make it a climate change hotspot. We compare projections of multiple Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) and Phase 6 (CMIP6) historical and future scenario

Multi-model evaluation of the sensitivity of the global energy budget and hydrological cycle to resolution [PDF]
This study undertakes a multi-model comparison with the aim to describe and quantify systematic changes of the global energy and water budgets when the horizontal resolution of atmospheric models is increased and to identify common factors of these ...

Mean and extreme precipitation over European river basins better simulated in a 25km AGCM [PDF]
Limited spatial resolution is one of the factors that may hamper applications of global climate models (GCMs), in particular over Europe with its complex coastline and orography.

Extratropical transition of tropical cyclones in a multiresolution ensemble of atmosphere-only and fully coupled global Climate Models [PDF]
Tropical cyclones undergo extratropical transition (ET) in every ocean basin. Projected changes in ET frequency under climate change are uncertain and differ between basins, so multimodel studies are required to establish confidence.

Abstract Mesoscale sea surface temperature (SST) variability influences the marine atmosphere boundary layer (MABL), affecting near‐surface winds and turbulent heat fluxes. This study examines precipitation response to mesoscale SST forcing using satellite observations, ERA5 reanalysis, and high‐ and low‐resolution climate models. The results show that

Improvements and persistent biases in the southeast tropical Atlantic in CMIP models [PDF]
State-of-the-art climate models simulate warmer than observed sea surface temperatures (SST) in eastern boundary upwelling systems (EBUS), generating biases with profound implications for the simulation of present-day climate and its future projections ...
