Improved simulation of El Niño and its influence on the climate anomalies of the East Asia-western North Pacific in the ICM Version 2
英文摘要：
This study introduces the second version of the Integrated Climate Model (ICM). ICM is developed by the Center for Monsoon System Research, Institute of Atmospheric Physics to improve the short-term climate prediction of the East Asia-western North Pacific (EA-WNP). The main update of the second version of ICM (ICM.V2) relative to the first version (ICM.V1) is the improvement of the horizontal resolution of the atmospheric model from T31 spectral resolution (3.75°*3.75°) to T63 (1.875°*1.875°). As a result, some important factors for the short-term climate prediction of the EA-WNP is apparently improved from ICM.V1 to ICM.V2, including the climatological SST, the rainfall and circulation of the East Asian summer monsoon, and the variability and spatial pattern of ENSO. The impact of El Niño on the EA-WNP climate simulated in ICM.V2 is also improved with more realistic anticyclonic anomalies and precipitation pattern over the EA-WNP. The tropical Indian ocean capacitor effect and the WNP local air-sea interaction feedback, two popular mechanisms to explain the impact of El Niño on the EA-WNP climate is also realistically reproduced in ICM.V2, much improved relative to that in ICM.V1.
