The resolution of the atmospheric model is set to TL159L91 (IFS version 41r2), which corresponds to a 1.125 ° horizontal grid (125 km) with 91 vertical levels going up to 0.1 hPa.
(In comparison, horizontal resolutions in most of the global atmospheric models referenced in the IPCC's 4th assessment are of the order of 100 - 300 km).
The eastward component of the wind in the lower troposphere (850 hPa) simulated by an atmospheric model with roughly 50 km horizontal grid.
However, while the horizontal resolution of 2.5 ° (T42) or better in the atmospheric component of many coupled models is probably adequate to resolve most important features, the typical vertical resolution of around 20 levels is probably too low, particularly in the atmospheric boundary layer and near the tropopause.
