Recent progress in computing and model development has initiated the era of global storm-resolving modeling, with it potential to transform weather climate prediction. Within general theme vetting this new class models, present study evaluates nine global-storm resolving models their ability simulate tropical cyclones (TCs). Results indicate that, broadly speaking, produce realistic TCs remove longstanding issues known from such as deficiency accurately simulating TC intensity. However, are strongly affected by formulation, all suffer unique biases regarding number TCs, intensity, size, structure. Some simulated better than others, but no single was superior every way. The overall results that can open a chapter prediction, they need be improved unleash full potential.
