• Climate change projections and stratosphere–troposphere interaction (2012, background): “…standard resolution models, extended atmospheric models have been produced which have a good representation of the stratosphere and mesosphere (Pawson et al. 2000, Morgenstern et al. 2010) and work is now progressing to couple these models to interactive ocean components to provide extended…”
• Extended Canadian Middle Atmosphere Model: Zonal‐mean climatology and physical parameterizations (2002, methodology): “…a dividing line for modelling efforts, with thermospheric models having this region as their lower boundary [e.g., Fuller-Rowell and Rees , 1980; Dickinson et al. , 1984], and middle atmosphere general circulation models (GCMs) having the MLT region as their upper boundary [ Pawson et al. , 2000].”
• Improved 11‐year solar signal in the Freie Universität Berlin Climate Middle Atmosphere Model (FUB‐CMAM) (2004, background): “Equatorial Wind Profiles [12] In the long-term mean state the FUB-CMAM, like most GCMs [e.g., Pawson et al., 2000], is not able to reproduce a realistic QBO and shows instead weak easterlies in the equatorial lower stratosphere.”
• The SPARC Intercomparison of Middle-Atmosphere Climatologies (2004, background): “Current general circulation model (GCM) simulations routinely extend into the middle atmosphere (model tops at 50 km or higher), and require observational datasets for validation (e.g., Pawson et al. 2000).”
• An overview of the past, present and future of gravity‐wave drag parametrization for numerical climate and weather prediction models (2003, methodology): “Thus, there is a trend to extend the vertical domains of 3D large-scale models (Pawson et al., 2000).”
• Multimodel climate and variability of the stratosphere (2011, unknown): “The GCM ‐ Reality Intercomparison Project (GRIPS) of the Strato-spheric Processes and their role in Climate (SPARC) core project of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), assessed short runs of 13 GCMs [ Pawson et al. , 2000].”
• General aspects of a T213L256 middle atmosphere general circulation model (2008, background): “Introduction 20 Since the early 1980s, many atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs) have been 21 developed to support studies of the middle atmosphere [cf. Pawson et al., 2000].”
