Arctic-Atlantic Model Resolution
| This is the grid we are now
using for hindcasts and for dynamic downscaling of IPCC AR4 results. The
downscaling is using the 3 models Overland and Wang (2007) found to be
credible for todays climate in both the Barents (IMRÕs main interest) and the
Arctic basin as a whole: NASA GISS AOM, NCAR CCSM 3.0 (I think) and Hadley
Centre GEM1. Obviously, it would be better to downscale a coupled
atmosphere-ice-ocean system, but we had to start somewhere. This should be a
good subject for discussion J |
