Session Description:
Developing and utilizing hierarchies of model complexity is key to bridging the emerging disconnect between our understanding of the climate system and our ability to produce detailed simulations of it. Reduced-complexity models and modeling frameworks such as those implemented in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP), Dynamical Core Model Intercomparison Project (DCMIP), and Aqua-Planet Experiment (APE) accomplish dual goals: (1) they permit effective evaluation and comparison among diverse models and within model families, and (2) they can be constructed to isolate and better conceptualize physical processes of interest. Contributions are sought from studies that use simplified versions of comprehensive models, particularly those that exploit the benefits of model hierarchies, to investigate a wide range of topics including organized tropical convection, tropical-extratropical interactions, global circulation, energy and water cycles, climate extremes, and variability across scales.
