TL;DR: The Canadian Earth System Model version 5 (CanESM5) as mentioned in this paper is a global model developed to simulate historical climate change and variability, to make centennial-scale projections of future climate, and to produce initialized seasonal and decadal predictions.

TL;DR: The EarthCARE satellite mission as discussed by the authors provides global profiles of cloud, aerosol, precipitation, and associated radiative properties inferred from a combination of measurements made by collocated active and passive sensors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the accuracy of cloud water content (CWC) and water vapor mixing ratio (H2O) outputs from 19 climate models submitted to the Phase 5 of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5), and assess improvements relative to their counterparts for the earlier CMIP3.

TL;DR: A detailed analysis of observations and climate model simulations suggests that the observed influence of volcanic eruptions on tropospheric temperature has been significant, and that the discrepancy between climate simulations and observations is reduced by up to 15% when twenty-first century volcanic impacts are accounted for in the models as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis (CCCma) developed the fourth generation of the Canadian Atmospheric Global Climate Model (CanAM4) as discussed by the authors, which includes substantially modified physical parameterizations compared to its predecessor.
