Here, we introduce the Precipitation Driver and Response Model Intercomparison Project (PDRMIP), where a set of
idealized experiments designed to understand the role of different climate forcing mechanisms were performed by a large set of climate models.
We conducted
idealized experiments using WACCM4 to composite the phases of the QBO (westerly, easterly, and neutral) and assess its importance (mechanisms) on the stratosphere - troposphere pathway.
This paper covers the historical experiments — comparing model results from 850-2005 to observations and proxy reconstructions — as well as
some idealized experiments designed to measure metrics such as climate sensitivity, transient climate response, and carbon cycle feedbacks.
In a recent coordinated multi-model study between NOAA GFDL and NCAR, published in Journal of Climate, researchers performed
idealized experiments using state - of - the - art global coupled models, in which the North Atlantic SSTs are restored to time - invariant anomalies corresponding to the observed AMV.
The relatively small range of historical climate response suggests that there is another mechanism, for example a compensating non-GHG forcing, present in the historical simulations that counteracts the relatively large range in sensitivity obtained from
idealized experiments forced only by increasing CO2.

Experiments and simulations showed that a water droplet on a repellent surface will freeze upward into a microscopic six - armed formation that resembles an

The
experiments confirmed results from earlier more
idealized studies, particularly the importance of reduced wave dissipation activity, in which the mid-latitude decrease of effective diffusivity appears to be dominant.
