In the new generation of atmospheric models (nextGEMS), the physical equations are resolved at a higher resolution and explicit convection is allowed. These new features offer a more realistic representation of the atmospheric processes. Here, we are going to implement two blocking identification indexes in the storm-resolving climate models and compare them with previous studies or/and other datasets. After that, changes in atmospheric blocking in a warming climate are going to be investigated.
This work is part of the nextGEMS project in collaboration with 26 institutes.
