  abstract = {{T}he assessment of current and future risks for natural and human systems associated with climate change largely relies on numerical simulations performed with state-of-the-art climate models. {V}arious steps are involved in the development of such models, from development of individual components of the climate system up to free parameter calibration of the fully coupled model. {H}ere, we describe the final tuning phase for the {IPSL}-{CM}6{A}-{LR} climate model. {T}his phase alone lasted more than 3 years and relied on several pillars: (i) the tuning against present-day conditions given a small adjustment of the ocean surface albedo to compensate for the current oceanic heat uptake, (ii) the release of successive versions after adjustments of the individual components, implying a systematic and recurrent adjustment of the atmospheric energetics, and (iii) the use of a few metrics based on large scale variables such as near-global mean temperature, summer {A}rctic sea-ice extent, as targets for the tuning. {S}uccesses, lessons and prospects of this tuning strategy are discussed.},
