- Abstract:
- This proposal is for a strategic consortium grant to support the formation of a national partnership between NERC and the DEFRA/MoD funded Hadley Centre to develop the capability to perform high resolution modelling (in the first instance, 1/3? ocean, ~l? (N144) atmosphere) of the coupled climate system. The high-resolution model will be used by NERC and the Hadley Centre to perform multi-century 'Grand Challenge' integrations of the current climate. The model will be evaluated comprehensively against observations and detailed models of components of the climate system. The 'Grand Challenge' integrations will form the basis for a wide range of research in, for example, extreme events, seasonal to centennial climate variability and the non-linear interactions between different components of the earth system.
