Developments in the MPI-M Earth System Model version 1.2 (MPI-ESM1.2) and Its Response to Increasing CO2.

Thorsten Mauritsen, +77 more
TL;DR: The model has a climate sensitivity to a doubling of CO2 over preindustrial conditions of 2.77 K, maintaining the previously identified highly nonlinear global mean response to increasing CO2 forcing, which nonetheless can be represented by a simple two‐layer model.
Journal ArticleDOI

The 'too few, too bright' tropical low-cloud problem in CMIP5 models

TL;DR: Nam et al. as discussed by the authors analyzed outputs from multiple climate models participating in the Fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5), and compared them with different satellite data sets, including CALIPSO lidar observations, PARASOL mono-directional reflectances and CERES radiative fluxes at the top of the atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Added Value of Large-Eddy and Storm-Resolving Models for Simulating Clouds and Precipitation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors simulated over one hundred days over very large domains with fine (0.156 km to 2.5 km) grid spacing for realistic conditions to test the hypothesis that storm resolving simulations would provide an improved representation of clouds and precipitation in atmospheric simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of Clouds and Precipitation in the ECHAM5 General Circulation Model Using CALIPSO and CloudSat Satellite Data

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of the ECHAM5 general circulation model with the Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project's Observation Simulator Package (OCIMP) is made.
