TL;DR: Large-scale diagnostics of the second major release of the ESMValTool tool, a community diagnostics and performance metrics tool designed to improve comprehensive and routine evaluation of Earth system models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP), are described.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a fully coupled model to predict the future response of the climate system to a variety of natural and anthropogenic forcings, and showed the effectiveness of response theory in predicting future climate response to CO2 increase on a vast range of temporal scales.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between near-surface temperature and baroclinicity (coherency and relative phase) in such frequency bands using spectral analysis and found that the coherency at the annual and semiannual frequency observed in the reanalysis data is well represented by models in both hemispheres, and estimates of the relative phase between near surface temperature and Baroclinivity are bounded between about ±15° around an average value of 220° (i.e., approximately 1-month phase shift).

TL;DR: The Diagnostic Tool (TheDiaTo) as mentioned in this paper is a diagnostic tool for investigating the thermodynamics of climate systems with a wide range of applications, from sensitivity studies to model tuning, and includes a number of modules for assessing the internal energy budget, the hydrological cycle, the Lorenz energy cycle and the material entropy production.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze the evolution of inter-hemispheric asymmetries in the energy budgets and near-surface temperature anomalies during the 20th century, as given in Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, phase 5 (CMIP5) simulations.
