摘要
Results are presented from the latest version of the Hadley Centre climate model, HadAM3 (Hadley Centre Atmospheric Model version 3). It represents a significant improvement over the previous version, HadAM2b. This is demonstrated using a series of ten year integrations with AMIP (Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project) boundary conditions. The work covers three aspects of model performance: (1) it shows the improvements in the mean climate in changing from HadAM2b to HadAM3; (2) it demonstrates that the model now compares well with observations and (3) it isolates the impacts of new physical parametrizations.
