TL;DR: The Canadian Climate Centre second generation general circulation model (GCMII) is described in this article and compared with the observed climatology in a general successful manner, and results from a ten-year climate simulation made with the new model are presented and compared.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Canadian Land Surface Scheme (CLSS) is described and the accompanying vegetation model is described, including physically based treatment of energy and moisture fluxes from the canopy as well as radiation and precipitation cascades through it, and incorporating explicit thermal separation of the vegetation from the underlying ground.

TL;DR: The Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis third generation atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM3) is described in this paper, which is the underlying model for applica- tions which include the IPCC fourth assessment, coupled atmosphere-ocean seasonal forecasting, the first generation of the CCCma earth system model (CanESM1), and middle atmosphere chemistry-climate modelling (CCM).

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.

TL;DR: In this article, the second-generation atmospheric general circulation model coupled with a mixed-layer ocean incorporating thermodynamic sea ice is used to simulate the equilibrium climate response to a doubling of C02.
