Climatic Modeling of the Earth-Atmosphere System.
During the course of this research three global climate models (I, II, and III) have been developed. The first two are vertically-integrated and use a grid spacing of 10 deg of latitude in the north-south direction. Model I differentiates zonally only between land and water. Model II uses a zonal gr...
