TL;DR: The High-ResMIP (High-resolution Model Intercomparison Project) as mentioned in this paper is a multi-model approach to the systematic investigation of the impact of horizontal resolution on the simulated mean climate and its variability.

TL;DR: In this article, the development of a global non-hydrostatic model, focusing on the pioneering research of the Non-Hydrostatic Icosahedral Atmospheric Model (NICAM), is discussed.

TL;DR: The first intercomparison project of global storm-resolving models, DYAMOND, was presented in 2016 as discussed by the authors, where nine models submitted simulation output for a 40-day (1 August-10 September 2016) intercomarcison period, eight of these employed a tiling of the sphere that was uniformly less than 5 km.

TL;DR: There are overall improvements in tropical cyclone frequency, spatial distribution, and intensity in models at 25 km resolution, with several of them able to represent very intense storms.
