CCMVal: Chemistry Climate Model Validation Activity

CCMVal is a large international effort to improve understanding of Chemistry-Climate Models (CCMs) and their underlying GCMs (General Circulation Models) through process-oriented evaluation, along with discussion and coordinated analysis of science results. Leeds have led the comparison of CCM radiative transfer codes (Forster et al., 2011, Journal of Geophysical Research, doi:10.1029/2010JD015361). See the SPARC CCMVal report for more details.

If you want to compare your own model you can find details of the tests here.

Please contact Piers Forster if you want the results.
