AWI-CM3 coupled climate model: description and evaluation experiments for a prototype post-CMIP6 model
<jats:p>Abstract. We developed a new version of the Alfred Wegener Institute Climate Model (AWI-CM3), which has higher skills in representing the observed climatology and better computational efficiency than its predecessors. Its ocean component FESOM2 (Finite-volumE Sea ice–Ocean Model) has t...
