The Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate (MIROC), updated in 2004 to version 3.2, was jointly developed in Japan by:
- The Center for Climate System Research (CCSR), University of Tokyo
- The National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES)
- The Frontier Research Center for Global Chance (FRCGC)
- The Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC)
This coupled model is comprised of the following models:
- Atmospheric Model: AGCM5.7b
- Oceanic and Sea-Ice Model: COCO3.3
- Land-Surface Model: MATSIRO (Minimal Advanced Treatments of Surface Interaction and Runoff)
- Coupling Model: MIROC3.2
