Abstract
State-of-the-art climate models do still exhibit pronounced deviations from the measured climate. Those deviations are often common between those models. The challenging problems in the Northern hemisphere include warming and salinization of the deep ocean being most pronounced in the northern North Atlantic, reduced deep water formation in the Labrador Sea which is sometimes accomplished by the sporadic ice coverage of the whole Labrador Sea, and an extensive ice presence in the Barents Sea. All these biases are often attributed in literature to the lack of oceanic resolution. \nThe multi-resolution approach used in the ocean component of the AWI climate model (ECHAM6-FESOM) allows to use enhanced horizontal resolution in dynamical active regions while keeping a coarse-resolution setup everywhere else. In this study we develop strategies for improving the climate model biases by means of increasing resolution in the ocean. The current computations have been performed on multi-centennial time scales using refinement in the different parts of the global ocean. Benefits from the local refinement have been analyzed. It is found that already with moderate refinement of the unstructured ocean grid, AWI-CM performs as well as some of the most sophisticated climate models participating in CMIP5.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
