FAMOUS-CI, a fast Earth System GCM
FAMOUS is a low resolution, fast version of the HadCM3 coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model, which runs without flux adjustments. Basing FAMOUS on HadCM3 means its results are directly traceable to a widely used AOGCM, giving confidence in its results. As part of the UK QUEST Earth Sys...
