We wish to take this opportunity to recognize the essential contributions from participating modeling groups (U.S. DOE-NCAR CAM5.1, CMCC ECHAM5, CNRM, FSU COAPS, NOAA GFDL HiRAM, NASA GISS-Columbia University, NASA GSFC GEOS-5, Hadley Centre HadGEM3, JAMSTEC NICAM, MRI CGCM3, NCEP GFS, and WRF) that ran model experiments and furnished their data for analysis. We also appreciate the contributions of NOAA GFDL for hosting the meeting that led to this paper, the U.S. CLIVAR Project Office and UCAR JOSS for logistics support, and the U.S. CLIVAR funding agencies-NASA, NOAA, NSF, and DOE for their sponsorship. The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin and the Texas A&M Supercomputing Facility provided supercomputing resources used to perform portions of the simulations described in this paper. Portions of the work described in this paper were funded in part by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science (Grant CE110001028); the U.S. DOE Grants DE-SC0006824, DE-SC0006684, and DE-SC0004966; the NOAA Grants NA11OAR4310154 and NA11OAR4310092; NSF AGS 1143959; and NASA Grant NNX09AK34G. E. Scoccimarro received funding from the Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research and the Italian Ministry of Environment, Land and Sea under the GEMINA project. The numerical experiments for NICAM and MRI-AGCM were performed on the Earth Simulator of JAMSTEC under the framework of the KAKUSHIN project funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), Japan.
