This work documents the first version of U.S. Department Energy (DOE) new Exascale Earth System Model (E3SMv1). We focus on standard resolution fully coupled physical model designed to address DOE mission-relevant water cycle questions. Its components include atmosphere and land (110-km grid spacing), ocean sea ice (60 km in midlatitudes 30 at equator poles), river transport (55 km) models. base configuration will also serve as a foundation for additional configurations exploring higher...

Pacific decadal variability is studied in a series of coupled global ocean–atmosphere simulations aided by two "modeling surgery" strategies: partial coupling (PC) and blocking (PB). The PC experiments retain full selected regions, but constrain elsewhere prescribing the model climatological SST to force atmospheric component system. In PB experiments, sponge walls are inserted into ocean at specified latitudinal bands block extratropical–tropical oceanic teleconnection. Both modeling...

In models of the global carbon cycle, p CO 2 atmosphere is more sensitive to chemistry high‐latitude surface ocean than tropical ocean. Because sea‐surface nutrient concentrations are generally high in latitudes, sensitivity forcing also determines biological pump globally. We diagnose a range using atmospheric above an abiotic ocean; cold waters pull low values. Box very sensitive, while most circulation considerably less so, including two‐dimensional overturning model, two primitive...
