• Arpège-Climat atmospheric spectral GCM in its low-top configuration (T63L31) => only 4 levels above 100 hPa (model top at 10 hPa)
• Prescribed observed SST and radiative forcings (GHG, sulfate and volcanic aerosols)
• Ensembles of 5-member integrations from 1970 to 2000 (including a 1-yr spin-up):
• CT: Control (no nudging, observed SST)• NS: Stratospheric nudging north of 25°N• NCS: Tropospheric nudging between 25°S-25°N

1971-2000 timeseries of DJF NAO principal components. Ensemble mean anomalies (thick red lines) are compared to ERA40 (in black) and spread is also shown (+/- 1 standard deviation in dashed red lines and minimum and maximum anomalies in solid red lines). R is the ensemble mean anomaly correlation coefficient with ERA40.

Summary
1. Importance of zonally averaged diagnoses2. Comparison against global climatologies 3. Systematic comparison of different parameterization packages 4. LES/SCM/CRM to tune, to choose the best formulation, to address the need
of some schemes (convection or turbulence)5. Effective resolution using spectra6. Nudging within GCM together with process studies (to improve the
understanding of the physics of teleconnections…) 7. Split forecast uncertainty in terms of initial condition error and model error :
