AWI-CM3 coupled climate model: Description and evaluation experiments for a prototype post-CMIP6 model
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 has the multi-resolution functionality typical for unstructured-m...
