| Zusammenfassung |
| We describe the HadGEM2 family of climate configurations of the Met Office
Unified Model, MetUM. The concept of a model "family" comprises a range of
specific model configurations incorporating different levels of complexity
but with a common physical framework. The HadGEM2 family of configurations
includes atmosphere and ocean components, with and without a vertical
extension to include a well-resolved stratosphere, and an Earth-System (ES)
component which includes dynamic vegetation, ocean biology and atmospheric
chemistry. The HadGEM2 physical model includes improvements designed to
address specific systematic errors encountered in the previous climate
configuration, HadGEM1, namely Northern Hemisphere continental temperature
biases and tropical sea surface temperature biases and poor variability.
Targeting these biases was crucial in order that the ES configuration could
represent important biogeochemical climate feedbacks. Detailed descriptions
and evaluations of particular HadGEM2 family members are included in a
number of other publications, and the discussion here is limited to a
summary of the overall performance using a set of model metrics which
compare the way in which the various configurations simulate present-day
climate and its variability. |
