Abstract

The article discusses a study on whether global climate model (GCM) can predict macroweather and climate. It states that the model only reproduce macroweather and runs with different climate forcings. It highlights that the GCM lacks or inadequately treat slow climate processes such as deep ocean and land-ice dynamics.
