Table
1.
The
horizontal resolution is given in either degrees latitude ×
degrees longitude
(grid point models), or as T21, T30, etc. which are the resolutions in
spectral
models corresponding to triangular truncation of the spectral domain
with 21,
30, etc. wave numbers, respectively. All CCMs have a comprehensive
range of
chemical reactions except that in the UMUCAM model the chemistry is
parameterised. The coupling between chemistry and dynamics is
represented in
all models, but to a different degree. All models include orographic
gravity
wave drag schemes (O-GWD), some of the models additionally include
non-orographic gravity wave drag schemes (NonO-GWD).
