Abstract. The U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) version 2.1 builds on E3SMv2 with several changes, the most notable being addition Fox-Kemper et al. (2011) mixed-layer eddy parameterization. This parameterization captures effect finite-amplitude, eddies as an overturning streamfunction and has primary function restratification. Herein, we outline changes to mean climate state E3SM that were introduced by this Overall, presence submesoscale improves...
The goal of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) is to better understand past, present, and future changes in Earth system a multi-model context. In an effort increase project’s scientific societal relevance, improve accessibility, widen participation, CMIP Panel advocated for establishing number Task Teams aimed at supporting design, scope, definition next phase CMIP, as well evolution infrastructure operationalization activities. An important prerequisite...
Earth System Models (ESMs) are essential for understanding climate dynamics and informing policy decisions. This presentation focuses on the PCMDI Metrics Package (PMP), an open-source, Python-based framework designed objective "quick-look" comparisons benchmarking of ESMs against latest observational data. The PMP has been instrumental in systematically evaluating thousands simulations from Coupled Model Intercomparison Projects (CMIPs), with a primary focus physical atmospheric mean...
Abstract. As the resolution of global Earth system models increases, regional-scale evaluations are becoming ever more important. This study presents a framework for quantifying precipitation distributions at regional scales and applies it to evaluate Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) 5 6 models. We employ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) sixth assessment report (AR6) climate reference regions over land propose refinements oceanic based homogeneity distribution...
Abstract Identifying predictable states of the climate system allows for enhanced prediction skill on generally low-skill subseasonal timescale via forecasts with higher confidence and accuracy, known as opportunity. This study takes a neural network approach to explore decadal variability predictability, particularly during Specifically, this work quantifies provided by tropics within Community Earth System Model Version 2 (CESM2) Large Ensemble assesses how evolves timescales. Utilizing...

The PCMDI Metrics Package (PMP) is an open-source Python-based framework that enables objective "quick-look" comparisons and benchmarking of Earth System Models (ESMs) against observation-based reference datasets. PMP, which focused primarily on atmospheric quantities, has been used for routine systematic evaluation thousands simulations from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). Ongoing work aims seamless application tool to next generation CMIP (CMIP7), with aspiration aid...
Abstract Bimodality in precipitation frequency distributions is often evident atmospheric models, but rarely observations.

Abstract. A framework for quantifying precipitation distributions at regional scales is presented and applied to CMIP 5 6 models. We employ the IPCC AR6 climate reference regions over land propose refinements oceanic based on homogeneity of distribution characteristics. The homogeneous are identified as heavy, moderate, light precipitating areas by K-means clustering IMERG frequency amount distributions. With global domain partitioned into 62 regions, including 46 16 ocean we apply 10...
