NASA GISS Atmosphere-Ocean Model
 Entry ID: NASA_GISS_AOM

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: A new coupled atmosphere-ocean model has been developed for climate predictions at decade to century time scales. Atmospheric source terms are similar to those of Hansen et al. [1983]. Atmospheric dynamic equations for mass and momentum are solved using Arakawa and Lamb's [1977] C grid scheme. Advection of potential enthalpy and water vapor uses the linear upstream scheme [Russell and Lerner, ... View entire text
