LOVECLIM, a three-dimensional model of the Earth System for investigating long-term climate changes
A three-dimensional global model of the Earth system suitable for studying the long-term evolution of climate (LOVECLIM) has been recently developed. This model is made up of a coarse-resolution three-dimensional atmospheresea-iceocean model (ECBILTCLIO), a dynamical model of the continental biosphe...

A three-dimensional global model of the Earth system suitable for studying the long-term evolution of climate (LOVECLIM) has been recently developed.

The atmospheric component has the big advantage that it has been simplified to a level that makes runs on a multi-century time-scale computationaly feasible, while at the time, producing results that, on the whole, are comparable to those of atmospheric general circulation models.
