In the atmosphere, microphysics refers to the microscale processes that affect cloud and
precipitation particles and is a key linkage among the various components of Earth's …

As the atmosphere warms, part of the cloud population shifts from ice and mixed-phase
('cold') to liquid ('warm') clouds. Because warm clouds are more reflective and longer-lived …

Numerical weather, climate, or Earth system models involve the coupling of components. At
a broad level, these components can be classified as the resolved fluid dynamics …

Convection influences climate and weather events over a wide range of spatial and
temporal scales. Therefore, accurate predictions of the time and location of convection and …

Abstract Model dependence in simulated responses to stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI)
is a major uncertainty surrounding the potential implementation of this solar climate …

Global climate models (GCMs) disagree with other lines of evidence on the rapid
adjustments of cloud cover and liquid water path to anthropogenic aerosols. Attempts to use …

Today's global Earth system models began as simple regional models of tropospheric
weather systems. Over the past century, the physical realism of the models has steadily …

This paper documents coupled simulations of two developmental versions of the Community
Atmosphere Model (CAM) towards CAM6. The configuration called CAM5. 4 introduces new …

Realistic simulation of the Earth's mean-state climate remains a major challenge, and yet it is
crucial for predicting the climate system in transition. Deficiencies in models' process …

Abstract General Circulation Models (GCMs) have for decades exhibited difficulties in
modelling the diurnal cycle of precipitation (DCP). This issue can be related to inappropriate …
