The work presented in this thesis consists of both practical development and analytical investigation of a run with the coupled climate model ECHAM4/OPYC3. The practical aspect involved the devel- opment of a coupling interface for synchronizing ECHAM and OPYC and performing the regridding of the surface fluxes and SST. The numerical treatment of the regridding problem is innovative in coupled climate modelling. A meshwidth refinement strategy in analogy to interpolatory subdivision, widespread in Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD), was developed which preserves positiv- ity for fields such as river discharge. It includes special treatment of the irregular domain given by ocean grid points only and employs open boundaries at the latitud...
