Dreary state of precipitation in global models
Graeme L. Stephens,Tristan L'Ecuyer,Richard G. Forbes,Andrew Gettelmen,Jean-Christophe Golaz,Alejandro Bodas-Salcedo,Kentaroh Suzuki,Philip Gabriel,John M. Haynes +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used CloudSat data to assess the realism of global model precipitation and found that the observed and modeled precipitation are significantly different from the character of liquid precipitation produced by global weather and climate models.
Journal ArticleDOI
COSP: Satellite simulation software for model assessment
Alejandro Bodas-Salcedo,Mark J. Webb,Sandrine Bony,Hélène Chepfer,Jean-Louis Dufresne,Stephen A. Klein,Yuying Zhang,Roger Marchand,John M. Haynes,Robert Pincus,Viju O. John +10 more
TL;DR: COSP is a flexible software tool that enables the simulation of several satellite-borne active and passive sensor observations from model variables that permits a more detailed diagnosis of the physical processes that govern the behavior of clouds and precipitation in numerical models.
Journal ArticleDOI
The new hadley centre climate model (HadGEM1) : Evaluation of coupled simulations
T. C. Johns,C. F. Durman,Helene T. Banks,Malcolm J. Roberts,A. J. McLaren,Jeff Ridley,Catherine A. Senior,Keith D. Williams,A. K. Jones,Graham J. Rickard,S. Cusack,William Ingram,Michel Crucifix,David M. H. Sexton,Manoj Joshi,Buwen Dong,Hilary Spencer,Richard Hill,Jonathan M. Gregory,A. B. Keen,Anne Pardaens,Jason Lowe,Alejandro Bodas-Salcedo,Sheila Stark,Y. Searl +24 more
TL;DR: The Hadley Centre Global Environmental Model version 1 (HadGEM1) is built around a new atmospheric dynamical core and uses higher resolution than the previous Hadley Center model, HadCM3; and contains several improvements in its formulation including interactive atmospheric aerosols as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Walters,Alex West,Richard Wood,Tim Woollings,Prince K. Xavier +28 more
TL;DR: The Global Coupled 3 (GC3) configuration of the Met Office Unified Model is presented in this paper, which is the basis of the United Kingdom's submission to the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 (CMIP6).
Journal ArticleDOI
The Met Office Global Coupled model 2.0 (GC2) configuration
Keith D. Williams,C. M. Harris,Alejandro Bodas-Salcedo,Joanne Camp,Ruth E. Comer,Dan Copsey,D. Fereday,Tim Graham,Richard Hill,Tim Hinton,Patrick Hyder,Sarah Ineson,Giacomo Masato,Sean Milton,Malcolm J. Roberts,David P. Rowell,Claudio Sanchez,Ann Shelly,Bablu Sinha,David N. Walters,Alex West,Tim Woollings,Prince K. Xavier +22 more
TL;DR: The latest coupled configuration of the Met Office Unified Model (Global Coupled configuration 2, GC2) is presented in this paper, and the performance of GC2 in terms of its systematic errors is assessed using a variety of diagnostic techniques.
