• Recently developped in Japan by CCSR (Center for Climate System Research, Univ. of Tokyo) and NIES (National Insititute for Environmental Studies)
• Global spectral model in sigma coordinate
• k-distribution, 2stream DOM radiative transfer code with H2O,CO2,O3,O2,N2O,CH4,CFCs,clouds,aerosols
• Prognostic cloud liquid water scheme
• Simplified Arakawa-Schubert convection scheme
