Abstract

Abstract:

In order to attend the CMIP6 and to further improve the simulation skills of climate model, the climate model team of the State Key Laboratory of Numerical Modeling for Atmospheric Sciences and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (LASG) has developed a new grid-point version of the coupled model, i.e., FGOALS-g. The new coupled model has many improvements in the atmospheric model resolution, ocean grid and the physical processes of the components, and is attending the core experiments of CMIP6 and an ensemble of CMIP6-endorsed Model Intercomparison Projects (MIPs). Under the CMIP6 external forcings, the simulations of the new model in the pre-industrial control experiment and the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) experiment are reasonable.

Key words: FGOALS-g, CMIP6, Stability, Shortwave feedback
