Since the initiation of the ‘Earth Simulator’ supercomputer at JAMSTEC in 2002, the JAMSTEC modeling groups have been conducting multi-scale climate simulations. In this presentation, we will focus on our group’s model known as ‘Atmosphere/Ocean/Coupled GCMs for the Earth Simulator (A/O/CFES)’:
1) The Atmospheric model (AFES) began as a weather simulation with a 10-km resolution using the AGCM. After that, AFES has been widely used for air-sea interaction studies in extratropical regions. Recently, with the updated convection scheme, climate and forecast simulations are being performed at medium (100-km resolution) to high (ranging from 50- to 20-km resolution) resolutions.
2) The Oceanic model (OFES) started with a 10-km resolution, simulating over 50 years using the OGCM. Outputs from OFES have been widely used for studies in both extratropical and tropical regions. Recently, with the updating to OFES2, not only physics but also coupling with the ecosystem are ongoing.
3) The Coupled model (CFES) was initiated with a 50-km resolution for the atmosphere and a 20-km resolution for the ocean. Similar to A/OFES, CFES has been widely used for studies in both extratropical and tropical regions. CFES is also being updated along with A/OFES. Currently, using CFES, seasonal forecast studies are ongoing.
