Model Description
Model DescriptionModel Description
The atmospheric component of the model (AGCM) : 16 levels with a horizontal resolution of 1.875 degree of latitude by 1.875 degree of longitude, which produces a global grid of 192×96 grid cells;
The reference pressure is 1013.25hPa, time integration step is 22.5 minutes
Model DescriptionModel Description
The oceanic component of the model (OGCM) was developed by IAP (Institute of Atmospheric Physics, CAS). It uses a triangular-truncated spectral horizontal grid system, with same horizontal resolution as the AGCM.
Altogether 30 vertical levels, of which 20 levels for the upper ocean 1000m.
Model DescriptionModel Description
Following parameterization schemes of physical processes are included:
radiation scheme: cloud and radiation processes and the scatter process of cloud were considered.
The GHG absorbers include H2O, CO2 and O3 and direct influence of aerosols is prescribed
vertical diffusion: turbulent vertical fluxes were simulated through the process of vertical diffusion
Model DescriptionModel Description
gravity wave drag convection: mass flux scheme for deep, shallow
and mid-level convection clouds were represented by a bulk model and include updraft and downdraft mass fluxes
land-surface processes sea-ice: thermodynamic sea-ice
Part I: Two simulations for climate variation from 1900~2000 year using the NCC/IAPT63 coupled model based on two different radiation schemes
Part II: Four simulations from 1948~2003 forced by HADISST and Sea Ice data. Two simulations have been completed, and another two are undergoing. Simulations were based on forcing from change in CO2, ozone, but not including that of aerosols, volcano and solar radiation.
Reference period: 1971~2000

Part I summary
• NCC/IAPT63 model was applied for transient climate change experiments on the 20th century. Experiments include anthropogenic forcing, but do not include natural forcing and troposphere aerosols.
• In these preliminary experiments, variation in global annual mean surface temperature seems to be generally agreed with observations.

低压位于高纬的海洋区,沿海岸线等压线密集。在欧亚大陆和北美大陆以及副热带大西洋地区是地面高压带。在数值实验中,只在下边界是加热里作用时,也能模拟出和真实情况相似的场,说明热力在维持高纬海洋区地面地压时很重要。低低

海平面气压于 1月份近于相反,在欧亚大陆上是庞大的热低压,而在两大洋上为强大的副热带高压,这反映了热力强迫的显著差异。地形强迫主要反映在山脉两侧海平面气压梯度的差异上。在高空西风带地区,通过山脉海平面气压从西向东减小。

Part II summary
• HADISST1.1 dataset is being used in some simulations of climate change of 20th Century
• Results of simulation for mean state seems to be encouraging
• Simulations for climate variations need to be greatly improved
Future plan
• Further simulations
• To improve the simulation results
• More thorough and robust analysis
