Abstract
Multilayer atmospheric general circulation models, oceanic general circulation models, and atmosphere-ocean coupled models developed at LASG for climate Simulation study are reviewed. The ongoing activities in model development for the study of climate systems are also summarized.
In addition to the studies of theoretical and computational geophysical fluid dynamics and of synoptical and climatological dynamics, the other main activities at LASG are model developments and numerical simulations for the study of various climate phenomena and their variabilities. In this paper, we will focus on the developments of atmospheric, oceanic, and atmosphere-ocean coupled general circulation models. These are briefly reviewed in Sections 1 to 3, respectively. The ongoing activities of these relevant aspects are described in Section 4.
