Abstract: The article discusses the Hadley Centre Global Environment Model version 2 (HadGEM2) family of climate configurations that comprises a range of specific model configurations. It offers a detailed descriptions and evaluations of HadGEM2 family members and its overall performance using a set of model metrics. It notes that HadGEM2 family of configurations includes atmosphere and ocean components with well-resolved stratosphere and earth-system.
