Abstract The authors present results for simulated climate and change from a newly developed high-resolution global model [Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Climate Model version 2.5 (GFDL CM2.5)]. GFDL CM2.5 has an atmospheric resolution of approximately 50 km in the horizontal, with 32 vertical levels. horizontal ocean ranges 28 tropics to 8 at high latitudes, This allows explicit simulation some mesoscale eddies ocean, particularly lower latitudes. Analyses are presented based on...
Abstract The authors characterize impacts on heat in the ocean climate system from transient mesoscale eddies. Their tool is a suite of centennial-scale 1990 radiatively forced numerical simulations three GFDL coupled models comprising Climate Model, version 2.0–Ocean (CM2-O), model suite. CM2-O differ their resolution: CM2.6 uses 0.1° grid, CM2.5 an intermediate grid with 0.25° spacing, and CM2-1deg nominal 1.0° grid. Analysis budget reveals that eddies act to transport upward manner...

A variety of configurations are presented, including...
Abstract. A climate model represents a multitude of processes on variety timescales and space scales: canonical example multi-physics multi-scale modeling. The underlying system is physically characterized by sensitive dependence initial conditions, natural stochastic variability, so very long integrations are needed to extract signals change. Algorithms generally possess weak scaling can be I/O and/or memory-bound. Such weak-scaling, I/O, memory-bound codes present particular challenges...

This is specifically designed for high-resolution simulations of air-sea interactions during extreme coastal events. It aims to address the critical need accurate representation fine-scale processes in interactions, which are not resolved current-generation global  models. By combining III, we seek capture complex dynamics atmosphere, ocean, at...

Simulations performed within GFDL's System for High-resolution modeling Earth-to-Local Domains (SHiELD) using global regional nest configurations. Results show that multi-level nests were able to capture various weather events greater details by resolving smaller-scale flow structures. updates do...
