Methods and Work packages
The KeyCLIM project is organised into three modules, ANALYSIS, DEVELOPMENT and SYNTHESIS, and 8 work
packages (WPs).
-
Module ANALYSIS
-
WP1 and WP2
-
Determine bias and deficiencies of the current NorESM model.
-
Do complementary analysis of the CMIP6 archive and reanalysis data.
-
Advise the module DEVELOPMENT on NorESM model enhancement needs.
-
-
Module DEVELOPMENT
-
WP3, WP4 and WP5
-
Will study Earth system processes in the key region, selecting problems that are important for northern climate evolution in the next 50-300 years.
-
Aims at improving NorESM through model development opportunities involving e.g. boundary layer processes, the water cycle, biogeochemistry and land Ice.
-
Development of diagnostics to understand the role of the coupling between spheres.
-
-
Module SYNTHESIS
-
WP6 and WP7
-
Test the enhanced model through joint and coordinated KeyCLIM experiments, based on DECK and CMIP6 experiments.
-
Isolate the role of sphere coupling and feedbacks for future projection of climate in the key region
