Abstract
The global hydrodynamic atmosphere model SL-AV is applied for operational mediumrange weather forecast and as a component of the probabilistic long-range forecast system. The review of the previous development of the model is presented and the model features are noted. The existing model versions are described. The unified multi-scale version of the model is developed on the basis of these versions. This version is intended both for numertcal weather prediction and for modeling of climate changes. The numerical experiments on climate modeling with the developed multi-scale version are carried out according to the protocol of the international AMIP2 experiment. First results are pret ented. The pos tibiltty of application of the unified vertion of the SL-AV model for the met dium-range weather forecast, and, after some development, for modeling of climate changes is shown.
