Carbon dioxide (CO{sub 2}) research during 1988 at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) has been concentrated in four areas: (1) the publication 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) the involvement in the DOE-sponsored intercomparison of GCMs; (3) the analysis of the coupled control run to study El Nino and La Nina, and (4) the continuing development of multitasked versions of atmospheric and oceanic GCMs.
