What grids and model resolutions are scientifically validated in CCSM3?
The CCSM3.0 release officially supports three resolutions referred to as “T85_gx1v3”, “T42_gx1v3”, and “T31_gx3v5”. For each resolution, multi-century control runs using all active models (a “B configuration”) have been scientifically validated. See the Expermements and Data section of this web site for related output data. In addition to the fully active (B) configuration, a number of other configurations are available for scientific testing and research.
