Performance of current GCMs in high latitudes – in the context of global climate change and variability studies
According to estimates obtained using current coupled atmosphere ocean general circulation models (AOGCMs), polar regions play a crucial role in projected global warming. Usually this is explained by positive feedbacks in the polar climate system, sea ice being a prime consideration. Meanwhile, repr...
