We've still to prove it works

  • Hybrid needs to be properly coupled to ocean
  • We need to evaluate model for a long coupled run, i.e. >50 years

If it works, what are its uses?

  • It makes chemistry with high resolution dynamics possible for long runs.
  • At low resolution, UKESM1-hybrid will be faster than UKESM1
  • A vehicle for testing the importance of resolution on different bits of science, e.g.
    • Move radiation to Jnr
    • Remove stratosphere from Snr
