Radiative‐dynamical climatology of the first‐generation Canadian middle atmosphere model
Open accessAbstract
The Canadian Middle Atmosphere Modelling (MAM) project is a collaboration between the Atmospheric Environment Service (AES) of Environment Canada and several Canadian universities. Its goal is the development of a comprehensive General Circulation Model of the troposphere‐stratosphere‐mesosphere system, starting from the AES/CCCma third‐generation atmospheric General Circulation Model. This paper describes the basic features of the first‐generation Canadian MAM and some aspects of its radiative‐dynamical climatology. Standard first‐order mean diagnostics are presented for monthly means and for the annual cycle of zonal‐mean winds and temperatures. The mean meridional circulation is examined, and comparison is made between the steady diabatic, downward controlled, and residual streamfunctions. It is found that downward control holds quite well in the monthly mean through most of the middle atmosphere, even during equinoctal periods. The relative roles of different drag processes in determining the mean downwelling over the wintertime polar middle stratosphere is examined, and the vertical structure of the drag is quantified.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
