McICA, a new cloud-radiation scheme that can easily define the sub-grid cloud structures, is incorporated into the National Climate Center’s Global Climate Model, called BCC_AGCM2.0.1. As random noises is inevitably introduced by the scheme, it’s important to evaluate and estimate how the noises behave and whether the modeled climate will be degraded by the noises. Results here showed a minor perturbation of modeled climate within McICA samples, and the modeled climate fields are impacted very little by McICA noises, with global mean biases at the order of 0.01% compared to the reference ICA results. Good agreement between McICA and ICA results is also illustrated from zonal mean, vertical, and domain distributions of variables. So, it’s highly reliable to use the McICA cloud-radiation scheme in BCC_AGCM2.0.1 to do climate researches. Because random noises have little impact on the modeling, the modeling ability of BCC_AGCM2.0.1 still depends on its physical parameterization and dynamic framework improvem...
