NCAR-GFDL Workshops on Model Development 3 meetings in 2002/2003 Latest this October at GFDL Focus has been on atmospheric models to date; Analogous oceanic effort beginning to form Will also be collaborating through atmospheric and oceanic CPTs

Global climate sensitivity and cloud feedbacks Regional climate responses Similarities and differences in model biases Comparing model development strategies, metrics Sharing diagnostics and data

Currently running 4 100 year simulations with SST Error Years 71-80 RMS=1.43 Currently running 4 100 year simulations with 2 atmosphere and 2 ocean configurations; Freezing model by end of month T. Delworth

Compare sensitivities, cloud feedbacks, regional responses in a hierarchy of model configurations Coupled scenarios 1% per year CO2 increase (CMIP) Equilibrium response with flux-adjusted slab-ocean Response to composite CMIP SST perturbation at time of CO2 doubling “Cess” uniform SST perturbation

“Cess” Method Uniform ocean warming Measure change in TOA flux. (-2 K to +2 K). Sea ice is fixed. CO2 is fixed. Measure change in TOA flux.
