Eearth System Model evaluations


Five ESM's are currently producing a number of coordinated simulations with prescribed Sea Surface Temperatures. The five ESM's with the responsible institutes are:

  • ECHAM-5, Max Planck Institute, Hamburg
  • EC-EARTH, KNMI, De Bilt
  • IPSL, CNRS, Paris
  • HadGEM-2, MetOffice, Exeter
  • Arpege, MF-CNRM, Toulouse
The output of these runs will be evaluated using the satellite observations compiled at CNRS and the cloud-climate feedbacks will be quantified.
