| Zusammenfassung |
| For use of the CMIP5 experiments, we developed a new version of our
climate model,MIROC, referred to as MIROC5. Of particular improvement
of MIROC5 is the realistic simulation of El Nino-Southern Oscillation
(ENSO), which was poorly reproduced in the previous version. We found
that the model ENSO systematically varies its amplitude when we
changed a single parameter that affects the efficiency of entrainment
process in the cumulus convection scheme. The physical processes of
convections that control the model ENSO are investigated in detail by
comparing three century-long runs adopting different values of the
parameter. |
