A Caveat Note on Tuning in the Development of Coupled Climate Models: GREB TUNING OF CGCMS
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems"
DOI: 10.1002/2017ms000947
Abstract: State-of-the-art coupled general circulation models (CGCMs) have substantial errors in their simulations of climate. In particular, these errors can lead to large uncertainties in the simulated climate response (both globally and regionally) to a doubling… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/joc.6470
Abstract: © 2020 Royal Meteorological Society Global climate models (GCMs) are generally used to forecast weather, understand the present climate, and project climate change. Their reliability usually rests on their capability to represent climatic processes, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00382-019-04765-6
Abstract: Recently, there has been increasing evidence that Arctic warming and extreme cold events over the northern continents are intimately related. Here, we examine how well current climate models simulate the observed relationship between Arctic warming… read more here.
