Abstract
The reasons for adopting a unified forecast/climate model are discusse d. The model is described and related to previous forecast and climate models in use in the Meteorological Office. The software system used to implement it is also briefly described. Examples of its performance are shown in global, regional, and mesoscale forecasts, long-range fo recasts, climate simulations, and upper-atmosphere forecasts.
