Key Findings A new coupled chemistry-carbon-climate Earth system model, ESM4.1, has been developed at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory. ESM4.1 unifies advances across several past…
Key Findings A new atmospheric chemistry-climate model (AM4.1) has been developed as part of GFDL’s fourth-generation suite. AM4.1 includes an advanced dynamical core and physical…
GFDL’s Modular Ocean Model, MOM6, represents a major advancement in modeling oceanic and climatic processes. MOM’s development began in the mid-1980s, aimed at providing a robust tool for simulating ocean circulation and its effects on global climate.
Key Findings GFDL has developed a unified “one code, one executable, one workflow” global prediction modeling system, called SHiELD. SHiELD’s multiple configurations show…
New research on the massive Australian bushfires in 2019 and 2020 shows that almost 1 million metric tons of smoke rose into the stratosphere, causing it to warm by about 1 degree Celsius for six months, and likely contributed to the large and persistent ozone hole that formed over Antarctica during the Southern Hemisphere’s spring.
