{{Refimprove|date = August 2015}}The Reading '''intermediate general circulation model''' ('''IGCM'''), is a simplified or "intermediate" [[global climate model]], which is developed by members of the Department of Meteorology at the [[University of Reading]], and by members of the Stratospheric Dynamics and Chemistry Group of the [[McGill Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences|Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences]] at [[McGill University]].

The IGCM is based on the primitive-equations [[Baroclinity|baroclinic]] model of Hoskins and Simmons, which has been converted to run on workstations. Several variations have been developed by adjusting representations of the physics.
