| Summary: | Introduction We have been developing atmospheric and oceanic general circulation models that are computationally well optimized for the architecture of the Earth Simulator. Our atmospheric general circulation model, AFES, is adopted from the CCSR/NIES AGCM 5.4.02 [1]. Our oceanic general circulation model, OFES, is based on the GFDL MOM3 [2]. Our coupled oceanic and atmospheric model, CFES, consists of AFES and OIFES (OFES with a sea ice submodel). PFES, Princeton University POM-based sigma-coordinate ocean model, also has been developed for simulating regional ocean currents. With these models that are extremely efficient on the Earth Simulator, we are able to perform ultra-high resolution numerical experiments in which both planetary scale fields and meso-scale phenomena are simulated simultaneously. Our goal is a better understanding of mechanism and predictability of variations that are induced by inter-scale interactions. 2. AFES We performed several ultra-high resolution nume |
