Journal ArticleDOI
The Norwegian Earth System Model, NorESM1-M – Part 1: Description and basic evaluation of the physical climate
Mats Bentsen,Ingo Bethke,Jens Boldingh Debernard,Trond Iversen,Trond Iversen,Trond Iversen,Alf Kirkevåg,Øyvind Seland,Helge Drange,Helge Drange,C. Roelandt,Ivar A. Seierstad,Corinna Hoose,Corinna Hoose,Jón Egill Kristjánsson +14 more
TL;DR: The core version of the Norwegian Climate Center's Earth System Model, named NorESM1-M, is presented in this paper, where a first-order assessment of the model stability, the mean model state and the internal variability based on the model experiments made available to CMIP5 are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
External forcing as a metronome for Atlantic multidecadal variability
TL;DR: Instrumental records, proxy data and climate modelling show that multidecadal variability is a dominant feature of North Atlantic sea-surface temperature variations as discussed by the authors, and that the timing of this variability is determined mainly by external forcing, for example from volcanic eruption or solar forcing.

TL;DR: Simulation characteristics from eighteen global ocean-sea-ice coupled models are presented with a focus on the mean Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) and other related fields in the North Atlantic as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a new surface-atmospheric dataset for driving ocean-sea-ice models based on Japanese 55-year atmospheric reanalysis (JRA-55), referred to here as JRA55-do, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Norwegian Earth System Model, NorESM1-M – Part 2: Climate response and scenario projections

TL;DR: NorESM1-M as mentioned in this paper is based on the model CCSM4 operated at NCAR, but the ocean model is replaced by a modified version of MICOM and the atmospheric model is extended with online calculations of aerosols, their direct effect and their indirect effect on warm clouds.
