Zusammenfassung |
This paper describes the development of a technically robust climate
modelling system, HadGEM3, which couples the Met Office Unified Model
atmosphere component, the NEMO ocean model and the Los Alamos sea ice model
(CICE) using the OASIS coupler. Details of the coupling and technical
solutions of the physical model (HadGEM3-AO) are documented, in addition to
a description of the configurations of the individual submodels. The paper
demonstrates that the implementation of the model has resulted in accurate
conservation of heat and freshwater across the model components. The model
performance in early versions of this climate model is briefly described to
demonstrate that the results are scientifically credible. HadGEM3-AO is the
basis for a number of modelling efforts outside of the Met Office, both
within the UK and internationally. This documentation of the HadGEM3-AO
system provides a detailed reference for developers of HadGEM3-based climate
configurations. |
