TL;DR: In this article, an overview of model capabilities as assessed in this chapter, including improvements, or lack thereof, relative to models assessed in the AR4, is presented, along with an assessment of recent work connecting model performance to the detection and attribution of climate change as well as to future projections.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the performance of different models ranging from the earth system models of intermediate complexity (EMICs) to the fully coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation models (AOGCMs) to document and improve understanding of the causes of wide variations in the modeled THC response.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the second-generation Canadian earth system model (CanESM2) was used to assess the response of the second generation earth system models to historical (1850-2005) and future (2006-2100) natural and anthropogenic forcing.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis global coupled model and its climate

TL;DR: A global, three-dimensional climate model, developed by coupling the CCCma second-generation atmospheric general circulation model (GCM2) to a version of the GFDL modular ocean model (MOM1), forms the basis for extended simulations of past, current and projected future climate as discussed by the authors.
