Carbon dioxide (CO{sub 2}) research this past year at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) has been concentrated in three areas: (1) the completion of three experiments (1 {times} CO{sub 2}, 2 {times} CO{sub 2}, and transient) with fully coupled atmospheric and oceanic general circulation models (GCMs); (2) an intercomparison of NCAR and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) surface hydrological processes; and (3) the development of multitasked versions of atmospheric and oceanic GCMs by R. Chervin and A. Semtner. In addition, we have been preparing an experimental run for a model- intercomparison study sponsored by the Department of Energy (DOE).
