Climate adaptation as mitigation: the case of agricultural investments (2013, methodology): “This is analogous to the use of simplified integrated assessment models such as DICE [4], as well as intermediate complexity models in climate science [24], which reproduce the broad behavior of more complex models but sacrifice detail in order to allow a much larger number of simulations for activi”
Description of the Earth system model of intermediate complexity LOVECLIM version 1.2 (2010, background): “1) is a three-dimensional Earth system model of intermediate complexity (EMIC, Claussen et al., 2002), i.e. its spatial resolution is coarser than that of stateof-the-art climate General Circulation Models (GCMs) and its representation of physical processes is simpler.”

(2007, background): “…climate models that describe the state of the climate system with at most a few tens of numbers (Harvey et al., 1997) via Earth System Models of Intermediate Complexity (EMICs) (Claussen et al., 2002) to three-dimensional global General Circulation Models (GCMs) and Regional Climate Models (RCMs).”
Global Catastrophic Risks (2008, background): “In between there lies a range of Earth system models of intermediate complexity (EMICs) (Claussen et al., 2002; Lenton et al., 2006) which aim at resolving some range of physical processes between the global scale represented by EBMs and the more comprehensive scales represented by GCMs. EMICs are…”
