He said certainly with regards to the efficacy
of general circulation models and climate modelling overall, and that much of the rest of the science was accessible.
More recently, including the carbon chemistry system
in general circulation models has simply been a question of allocation of computing resources.
No studies have systematically explored the extent of such control, however, in part because of the computational expense of running
general circulation models with comprehensive aerosol chemistry.
This thesis presents the results of several
general circulation model simulations aimed at studying the effect of ocean circulation changes when they occur in conjunction with increased atmospheric trace gas concentrations.
We applied the same method used in the observational analysis
on general circulation model data to decrease the statistical uncertainty at the expense of an increased systematic uncertainty.
Using radiation modeling we estimated how strong the climate forcing would be for each scenario, and then
ran general circulation models to see how that forcing would change the climate.
Climate models, also known
as general circulation models of the climate system, are used to investigate and understand climate variability and change.
He said certainly with regards to the efficacy
of general circulation models and climate modelling overall, and that much of the rest of the science was accessible.
The team looked at 99 water sub-basins using all 22
general circulation models used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) under three emissions scenarios and a number of different indices for drought.
«When forced
by general circulation models (GCMs) other than HadCM3, vegetation models have usually simulated lower or even no losses of Amazonian forest cover.
Lo, 1997: Sensitivity of northern hemisphere air temperatures and snow expansion to North Pacific sea surface temperatures in the Goddard Institute for Space
Studies general circulation model.
Previous versions of the RSS dataset have used a diurnal climatology derived
from general circulation model output to remove the effects of drifting local measurement time.
CMIP was established as a resource for climate modelers, providing a standard protocol for studying the output of coupled atmosphere - ocean
general circulation models so that these models can be compared and validated.

An
idealized general circulation model with an analytically described Newtonian cooling term is employed to study the occurrence rate of sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) over a wide range of parameters.
Outputs from four
different general circulation model simulations for 2 × CO2 are included in the analyses; model predictions for increasing aridity in the Yellowstone Park area are generally in agreement with observed trends in the historical climate records.
Another example can be drawn from the energy balance model calculations for the snow / ice instability — despite all the details not in the original energy balance model, much more
complex general circulation models have now been shown to have the same behavior — a citation from 1994 -LRB-!)
The factors and caveats that impact all of these different recorders are also widely available in the literature, and more recently isotope -
enabled general circulation models have become more widely used in sync with observations (e.g., see Gavin Schmidt and others 2007 paper)
Atmosphere - Ocean
General Circulation Models also tend to simulate less intense ENSO events, in qualitative agreement with data, although there are large differences in magnitude and proposed mechanisms, and inconsistent responses of the associated teleconnections (Otto - Bliesner, 1999; Liu et al., 2000; Kitoh and Murakami, 2002; Otto - Bliesner et al., 2003).
This approach was chosen because not all climate models participating in CMIP5 were ESMs; some were more
simple General Circulation Models (GCMs) that lack a carbon cycle to convert emissions into atmospheric concentrations.
