The GISS climate model (Hansen et al., 1992) did quite well in predicting the decrease in global temperature (and increase in stratospheric warming), and the subsequent recovery to normal, due to the 1991 Pinatubo volcanic eruption.

The model simulates most of the main physical processes in the climate system in a very simplistic way and therefore allows very fast and simple climate model simulations on a normal PC computer.
