Use of the UKMO Unified Model in UGAMP


Scientists throughout UGAMP are actively using the UKMO Unified Model to study basic climate processes in the atmosphere-ocean system. The Unified Model system consists of the full UKMO operational forecasting suite and the coupled Ocean-Atmosphere model used for climate prediction. There are now over 30 projects throughout UGAMP utilising the Unified Model, these range from process studies of individual weather systems to UGAMPs contribution to the AMIP2 project which aims at assessing the role of the stratosphere in representing the climate of the troposphere. A brief review of a number of these projects is given below.
