R30 Model One of the simulations conducted as part of the GFDL-University Consortium project is a 17 year simulation in which the lower boundary conditions repeat the mean seasonal cycle. Attributes of the model simulation are given below

Parallel Climate Model Effort (Version 1) This is a joint effort to develop a DOE-sponsored parallel climate model between Los Alamos National aboratory (LANL), the Naval Postgraduate School (NPG), the US Army Corps of Engineers' Cold

CCCma has develped a number of climate simulation models for climate prediction, study of climate change and variability, and to better understand the various processes which govern our climate system. A brief description of these models and their corresponding references can be found in this section
