Climate models: an assessment of strengths and limitations

source: U.S. Global Change Research Program
"Complex climate models are tools that provide insights and knowledge into how future climate may evolve. To assure that future climate projections are used appropriately, it is crucial to understand what current models can simulate well, and where models need improvements. This report makes an important contribution in helping to describe and explain the current state of high-end climate modeling for the non-specialist."
