Model description#

The Met Office Unified Model (UM) vn11.0 is made of the Global Atmosphere 7.1 and JULES Global Land 7.0 described in Walters et al.(2017). The UM dynamical core ENDGame uses a semi-implicit semi-Lagrangian formulation to solve the non-hydrostatic, fully-compressible deep-atmosphere equations of motion (Wood et al., 2014). The model is forced with climatological distributions of aerosol and ozone.
