The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) has developed a 1 coupled general circulation model (CM3) for atmosphere, oceans, land, and 2 sea ice. The goal of CM3 is to address emerging issues in climate change, 3 including aerosol-cloud interactions, chemistry-climate interactions, and cou4 pling between the troposphere and stratosphere. The model is also designed 5 to serve as the physical-system component of earth-system models and mod6 els for decadal prediction in the near-term future, for example, through im7 proved simulations in tropical land precipitation relative to earlier-generation 8 GFDL models. This paper describes the dynamical core, physical parameter9 izations, and basic simulation characteristics of the atmospheric component 10 (AM3) of this model. 11 Relative to GFDL AM2, AM3 includes new treatments of deep and shal12 low cumulus convection, cloud-droplet activation by aerosols, sub-grid vari13 ability of stratiform vertical velocities for droplet activation, and atmospheric 14 chemistry driven by emissions with advective, convective, and turbulent 15 transport. AM3 employs a cubed-sphere implementation of a finite-volume 16 dynamical core and is coupled to LM3, a new land model with eco-system 17 dynamics and hydrology. 18 Most basic circulation features in AM3 are simulated as realistically, or 19 more so, than in AM2. In particular, dry biases have been reduced over South 20 America. In coupled mode, the simulation of Arctic sea ice concentration 21 has improved.
