Short summary
This study evaluates the impact of grid resolution on long-term present and future climate runs using the Alfred Wegener Institute global model AWI-CM3. A higher-resolution setup (35 km atmosphere, eddy-permitting/resolving ocean) improves small-scale processes and long-term variability, across variables and regions, and can capture nonlinear ocean–atmosphere interactions often missed by Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) models.
