Abstract:

The Dynamical Core Model Intercomparison Project (DCMIP) in 2016 focused on non-hydrostatic global models, physics-dynamics coupling, and variable-resolution modeling. The required test cases including moist baroclinic wave with terminator chemistry, idealized tropical cyclone and supercell scenarios. The intercomparison results are archived and used to establish new atmospheric model test cases of intermediate complexity incorporating simplified physics parameterizations for global climate and weather models.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
