Several research groups around the world started to develop a new generation of Earth System Models (ESMs), which have the capability to resolve the vertical energy transport associated with deep convective clouds in the tropics, ocean eddies and sea-ice leads in the high latitudes. These models matured to a degree, that they can be evaluated and tested in inter-comparison projects. In the DYnamics of the Atmospheric general circulation Modeled On Non-hydrostatic Domains (DYAMOND) project, first a boreal summer period with only atmospheric models, then a boreal winter period with atmospheric and coupled models was simulated with a collection of those new generation ESMs. Now, first multi-year simulations with ESMs with horizontal resolutions smaller than 5km are becoming reality and soon, full climate integrations will be not only possible, but also feasible. We will present results from the DYAMOND inter-comparison project and show results from multi-year integrations with storm-resolving ESMs, demonstrating their capabilities.
