TL;DR: In this paper, the formulation and simulation characteristics of two new global coupled climate models developed at NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) are described and two versions of the coupled model are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ronald J. Stouffer,Jianjun Yin,Jonathan M. Gregory,Jonathan M. Gregory,Keith W. Dixon,Michael J. Spelman,William J. Hurlin,Andrew J. Weaver,Michael Eby,Gregory M. Flato,Hiroyasu Hasumi,Aixue Hu,Johann H. Jungclaus,Igor Kamenkovich,Anders Levermann,Marisa Montoya,Shingo Murakami,Susanne Nawrath,Akira Oka,W. R. Peltier,Daniel Y. Robitaille,Andrei P. Sokolov,G. Vettoretti,S. L. Weber +23 more
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
Decadal Prediction: Can It Be Skillful?
Gerald A. Meehl,Lisa Goddard,James M. Murphy,Ronald J. Stouffer,George J. Boer,Gokhan Danabasoglu,Keith W. Dixon,Marco Giorgetta,Arthur M. Greene,Ed Hawkins,Gabriele C. Hegerl,David J. Karoly,Noel Keenlyside,Masahide Kimoto,Ben P. Kirtman,Antonio Navarra,Roger S. Pulwarty,Doug Smith,Detlef Stammer,Timothy N. Stockdale +19 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental framework to address decadal predictability/prediction is described and incorporated into the coordinated Coupled Model Intercomparison Model, phase 5 (CMIP5), some of which will be assessed for the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5).
Journal ArticleDOI
A model intercomparison of changes in the Atlantic thermohaline circulation in response to increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration
Jonathan M. Gregory,Jonathan M. Gregory,Keith W. Dixon,Ronald J. Stouffer,Andrew J. Weaver,E. Driesschaert,Michael Eby,Thierry Fichefet,Hiroyasu Hasumi,Aixue Hu,Johann H. Jungclaus,Igor Kamenkovich,Anders Levermann,Marisa Montoya,Shingo Murakami,S. Nawrath,Akira Oka,Andrei P. Sokolov,Robert Thorpe +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, integrations with a common design have been undertaken with eleven different climate models to compare the response of the Atlantic thermohaline circulation ( THC) to time-dependent climate change caused by increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anthropogenic warming of earth's climate system
Sydney Levitus,John I. Antonov,Julian Wang,Thomas L. Delworth,Keith W. Dixon,Anthony J. Broccoli +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the observed increase in ocean heat content may largely be due to the increase of anthropogenic gases in Earth's atmosphere.
