The Role of Differential Heating in Climate and Climate Variability Within Simulations of the NCAR CCM

本研究项目的目标是开展 关于差异加热在气候中的作用的详细研究 和它的可变性使用的数据从扩展的积分的 NCAR社区气候模型（DDC）。 该项目将继续 并扩展了以前的工作，重点是详细的 比较早期的加热分布预测 CCM的版本（CCMOB）和当前版本（CCM 1）。 这是一个重要的项目，因为它将有助于量化 代表性方面的改进或缺陷 新版本CCM（CCM 1）中的差热。 的 结果将为制定未来战略提供基础， 改进模型物理学。

The objective in this research project is to carry out detailed studies on the role of differential heating in climate and its variability using data from extended integrations of the NCAR Community Climate Model (DDC). The project will continue and extend on previous work which focussed on a detailed comparison of heating distributions prediction by an earlier version of the CCM (CCMOB) and the current version (CCM1). This is important project since it will help to quantify the improvements or deficiencies in the representation of differential heating in the new version of the CCM (CCM1). The results will provide a basis for developing future strategies for improving the model physics.
