Description:

Abstract:

The global climate model used for PMIP is Version 1.02A of GENESIS (Global ENvironmental and Ecological Simulation of Interactive Systems). It has been developed at NCAR Interdisciplinary Climate Systems Section. The model consists of an AGCM coupled to multilayer models of vegetation, soil or ice land, snow, sea ice, and 50-m slab oceanic layer. The AGCM originated from NCAR Community Climate Model version 1 (CCM1, described in Williamson et al. 1987), but the physics schemes differ significantly from those of CCM1 For the PMIP, GEN1 consists of runs 21 and 0.
