MPI-M special section in J. Climate (Vol. 19, No. 16)

Climate Models at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology

This issue comprises a series of papers that present the atmospheric general circulation model ECHAM5 and the coupled atmosphere ocean model ECHAM5/MPI-OM that was used for the German IPCC-AR4 simulations. The IPCC model provides the physical dynamical core of Earth system models, which will be published later.
