Towards multi-resolution global climate modeling with ECHAM6–FESOM. Part I: model formulation and mean climate
A new climate model has been developed that employs a multi-resolution dynamical core for the sea ice-ocean component. In principle, the multi-resolution approach allows one to use enhanced horizontal resolution in dynamically active regions while keeping a coarse-resolution setup otherwise. The cou...

A new climate model has been developed that employs a multi-resolution dynamical core for the sea ice-ocean component.
