  • Abstract
    The authors demonstrate the current capabilities of NASA´s finite-volume General Circulation Model in high-resolution global weather prediction and discuss its development path in the foreseeable future. This model is a prototype of a future NASA Earth-modeling system intended to unify development activities across various disciplines within NASA´s Earth Science Enterprise.
