Short summary
We describe some new features of an intermediate-complexity coupled model, including a three-layer thermodynamic ocean model suitable to explore the extratropical response to tropical ocean variability. We present results on the model climatology and show that important features of interdecadal and interannual variability are realistically simulated in a pacemaker coupled ensemble of 70-year runs, where portions of the tropical Indo-Pacific are constrained to follow the observed variability.
