Abstract

This chapter focused on Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, Phase 5 (CMIP5) , and discussed various results. Starting from outlining very basic equations of global climate models (GCMs) as used in CMIP5 models, it described briefly about the aim and objective of the CMIP5 project. It is followed by discussion on various experiments, historical and RCP (Representative Concentration Pathway) situation. The global temperature generated using CMIP5 models was compared with observation. Indian Summer Monsoon and El NiƱo Southern Oscillation in CMIP5 models were analysed in the historical and RCP situation, and few areas of agreement and disagreement were discussed. Few results from the atmospheric version of CMIP5 models (AMIP5 ) and Phase 3 of CMIP5 experiments (CMIP3) were also presented. Some stratospheric features are shown well captured by models.
