A first set of CMIP5 experiments with the IPSL-CM5B-LR model is available on the Earth System Grid Gateway. Compared to IPSL-CM5A, IPSL-CM5B includes a brand new set of physical parameterizations of the atmospheric model, i.e. new parameterizations of boundary layer, deep convection and clouds processes. The main objective of this model version is to test these major developments, although this new version have some important biases due to incomplete developments and lack of tuning.

 IPSL-CM5A-MR is the medium resolution of the IPSL-CM5A Earth system model. Compared to IPSL-CM5A-LR, the only difference is the horizontal resolution of the atmospheric model which is 144x143 points, corresponding to a resolution of 1.25° x 2.5° (instead of 96x95 points corresponding to a resolution of 1.875°x3.75°for IPSL-CM5A-LR)

Details

Published on Wednesday, 20 April 2011 15:29

Observational and atmospheric inversion studies find that the strength of the Southern Ocean carbon dioxide (CO₂) sink is not increasing, despite rising atmospheric CO₂. However, this is yet to be captured by contemporary coupled‐climate‐carbon‐models used to predict future climate.
