Phys.org  April 26, 2023 Researchers in China developed a series of high-resolution coupled Earth system models (SW-HRESMs) with up to 5 km of atmosphere and 3 km of ocean which can meet the needs of multiscale interaction studies with different computational costs. They described the progress of SW-HRESMs development, with an overview of the major advancements made by the international Earth science community in HR-ESMs. They showed the preliminary results of SW-HRESMs regarding capturing major weather-climate extremes in the atmosphere and ocean, stressing the importance of permitted clouds and ocean submesoscale eddies in modeling tropical cyclones and eddy-mean flow interactions, […]
