Abstract Euro‐Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change coupled climate model (CMCC‐CM2) represents the new family of global models developed and used at CMCC. It is based atmospheric, land sea ice components from Community Earth System Model with ocean Nucleus for European Modeling Ocean. This study documents components, coupling strategy, particularly oceanic, overall ability in reproducing observed mean main patterns interannual variability. As a first step toward more comprehensive,...
Abstract In this paper the interplay between tropical cyclones (TCs) and Northern Hemispheric ocean heat transport (OHT) is investigated. particular, results from a numerical simulation of twentieth-century twenty-first-century climates, following Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) run (20C3M) A1B scenario protocols, respectively, have been analyzed. The simulations performed using state-of-the-art global atmosphere–ocean–sea ice coupled general circulation model (CGCM) with...
Abstract This article introduces the second generation CMCC Earth System Model (CMCC‐ESM2) that extends a number of marine and terrestrial biogeochemical processes with respect to its CMIP5 predecessor. In particular, land biogeochemistry was extended wider set carbon pools plant functional types, along prognostic representation nitrogen cycle. The ecosystem reshaped toward an intermediate complexity lower trophic level interactions, including interactive benthic compartment new formulation...
Abstract. We present a new framework for global ocean–sea-ice model simulations based on phase 2 of the Ocean Model Intercomparison Project (OMIP-2), making use surface dataset Japanese 55-year atmospheric reanalysis driving models (JRA55-do). motivate OMIP-2 over first OMIP (OMIP-1), previously referred to as Coordinated Ocean–ice Reference Experiments (COREs), via evaluation OMIP-1 and from 11 state-of-the-science models. In evaluation, multi-model ensemble means spreads are calculated...
In this paper we compare the simulated Arctic Ocean in 15 global ocean–sea ice models framework of Coordinated Ocean-ice Reference Experiments, phase II (CORE-II). Most these are ocean and sea-ice components coupled climate used Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) experiments. We mainly focus on hydrography interior, state Atlantic Water layer heat volume transports at gateways Davis Strait, Bering Fram Strait Barents Sea Opening. found that there is a large spread...
Abstract. This study evaluates the impact of increasing resolution on Arctic Ocean simulations using five pairs matched low- and high-resolution models within OMIP-2 (Ocean Model Intercomparison Project phase 2) framework. The primary objective is to assess whether a higher can mitigate typical biases in low-resolution improve representation key climate-relevant variables. We reveal that horizontal contributes reduction mean temperature salinity improves simulation Atlantic water layer its...
Through tropical cyclone (TC) activity the ocean and atmosphere exchange a large amount of energy. In this work possible improvements introduced by higher coupling frequency are tested between two components climate model in representation TC intensity TC–ocean feedbacks. The analysis is based on new Centro Euro-Mediterraneo per I Cambiamenti Climatici Climate Model (CMCC-CM2-VHR), capable representing realistic TCs up to category-5 storms. A significant role negative sea surface temperature...
Abstract Plankton, plastics, nutrients, and other materials in the ocean can exhibit different dispersion patterns depending on their individual transport properties. These provide information effective timescales of interaction between types a highly dynamic environment, such as Benguela system southeast Atlantic Ocean. In this study, we compare spatial distribution separation for zooplankton performing Diel Vertical Migration (DVM) while drifting with currents to those materials: (a)...
This document describes the CMCC Earth System Model (ESM) for representation of carbon cycle in atmosphere, land, and ocean system. The structure report follows software architecture full It is intended to give a technical description numerical models at base ESM, how they are coupled with each other.
Evidence of stratosphere‐troposphere coupling at inter‐decadal time scales is searched for in a 260‐year simulation performed with climate model including state‐of‐the‐art stratosphere. The boundary conditions the are specified according to preindustrial and kept constant from year year. It shown that long lasting (∼20 years) positive negative anomalies northern winter stratospheric polar vortex exist simulation. Given there no externally imposed low frequency variations, these persistent...
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is the only geoengineering technique that allows negative emissions and reduction of anthropogenic carbon in atmosphere. Since time scales global cycle are largely driven by exchanges with natural oceanic stocks, implementation CDR actions anticipated to create outgassing from ocean may reduce their efficiency. The adjustment was studied a numerical Earth System Model, focusing on component considering two idealized families policies, one based target atmospheric...
Abstract Heavy precipitation is a major hazard over Europe. It well established that climate model projections indicate tendency toward more extreme daily rainfall events. still uncertain, however, how this changing intensity translates at the subdaily time scales. The main goal of present study to examine possible differences in projected changes intense events Europe and (3-hourly) scales using state-of-the-science model. focus will be on one representative concentration pathway (RCP8.5),...
