Toward improved projection of the future tropical cyclone changes

Abstract

We have been conducting a series of climate change projection experiments with a high-resolution AGCM using the Earth Simulator. We used a 20-km mesh AGCM for climate change projection experiments in the KYO-SEI project (FY2002-2006). The 20-km mesh AGCM is essentially the same as the current operational NWP model at JMA, although some physical processes are updated for the NWP model. The experiment is a time-slice type AGCM experiment with the SST projected by low resolution MRI CGCM. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
