Science models

The two papers below (and references therein) describe the calculation methods used in IPCC-TAR, and also implemented in JCM.

Bern-CC Model

(used for carbon cycle and atmospheric chemistry in JCM)
  • Global Warming Feedbacks on Terrestrial Carbon Uptake under the IPCC emissions scenarios , F.Joos, I.C.Prentice, S.Sitch, R.Meyer, G.Hooss, G.K.Plattner, S. Gerber, K.Hasselmann, Global Biogeochemical Cycles v15 no4, 891-907, 2001

    Wigley-Raper UDEB model

    (used for temperature and sea-level in JCM)
  • Use of a upwelling-diffusion energy balance to simulate and diagnose A/OGCM results, S.C.B. Raper, J.M. Gregory, T.J. Osborn, Climate Dynamics v17, p601-13, 2001
  • See also IPCCTAR-WG1-Ch9 Appendix 9.1
