Abstract

In 1991, CERFACS was commissioned by the French climate modelling community to perform the technical assembling of an ocean General Circulation Model (GCM), Océan Parallélisé (OPA) developed by the Laboratoire d’Océanographie Dynamique et de Climatologie (LODYC), and two different atmospheric GCMs, Action de Recherche Petite Echelle Grande Echelle (ARPEGE) and the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique zoom (LMDz) model developed respectively by Météo-France and the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique (LMD).
