TL;DR: In this article, the authors make the working hypothesis that CoRoT-7b is a rocky super-Earth with no volatiles in its atmosphere, and derive the physical properties that result.

TL;DR: The Earth system model EC-Earth3 for contributions to CMIP6 is documented in this paper , with its flexible coupling framework, major model configurations, a methodology for ensuring the simulations are comparable across different high-performance computing (HPC) systems, and with the physical performance of base configurations over the historical period.

TL;DR: In this paper, an assessment of the use of seasonal climate forecasts of temperature for medium-term electricity demand prediction is presented for the first time, where the authors find a relationship between summer average temperature patterns over Europe and Italian electricity demand using both a linear and non-linear regression approach.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that EC-Earth3 is suited for a range of tasks in CMIP6 and beyond, and key performance metrics demonstrate physical behaviour and biases well within the frame known from recent CMIP models.

TL;DR: In this paper, a three-dimensional numerical meteorological model is used to perform large-eddy simulations of the upslope flow circulation over a periodic ridge-valley terrain.
