Good vertical resolution from the surface to the lower stratosphere. (nap.edu)
It has been noted that the poor vertical resolution of the satellite temperature retrievals makes it difficult to estimate the forcing; in fact, a similar calculation using radiosonde - based temperatures yields a value of -0.1 Wm - 2 / decade (Shine et al., 1998). (ipcc.ch)
The FLOR model incorporates the higher horizontal resolution in the atmosphere and land, higher vertical resolution in the atmosphere, and significantly improved land model (LM3; Milly et al. 2014) from CM2.5. (gfdl.noaa.gov)
