E3SM

Detailed information for E3SM missing.

Institution: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Livermore, CA, USA;  Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Argonne, IL, USA; Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), Upton, NY, USA; Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, NM, USA; Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Berkeley, CA, USA; Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN, USA; Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Richland, WA, USA; Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), Albuquerque, NM, USA
Model: Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM), versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.1-ECA (ECA=Equilibrium Chemistry Approximation)
Resolution:

E3SM-1.0: aerosol: 100 km, atmos: 100 km, atmosChem: 100 km, land: 100 km, ocean: 50 km, seaIce: 50 km

E3SM-1.1 / E3SM-1.1-ECA: aerosol: 100 km, atmos: 100 km, atmosChem: 100 km, land: 100 km, ocean: 50 km, ocnBgchem: 50 km, seaIce: 50 km

Components:

E3SM-1.0: aerosol: MAM4 with resuspension, marine organics, and secondary organics (same grid as atmos), atmos: EAM (v1.0, cubed sphere spectral-element grid; 5400 elements with p=3; 1 deg average grid spacing; 90 x 90 x 6 longitude/latitude/cubeface; 72 levels; top level 0.1 hPa), atmosChem: Troposphere specified oxidants for aerosols. Stratosphere linearized interactive ozone (LINOZ v2) (same grid as atmos), land: ELM (v1.0, cubed sphere spectral-element grid; 5400 elements with p=3; 1 deg average grid spacing; 90 x 90 x 6 longitude/latitude/cubeface; satellite phenology mode), MOSART (v1.0, 0.5 degree latitude/longitude grid), ocean: MPAS-Ocean (v6.0, oEC60to30 unstructured SVTs mesh with 235160 cells and 714274 edges, variable resolution 60 km to 30 km; 60 levels; top grid cell 0-10 m), seaIce: MPAS-Seaice (v6.0, same grid as ocean)

E3SM-1.1: as E3SM-1.0 but with atmos: EAM (v1.1, ...),  land: ELM (v1.1, same grid as atmos; active biogeochemistry using the Converging Trophic Cascade plant and soil carbon and nutrient mechanisms to represent carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycles), MOSART (v1.1, ... ), ocnBgchem: BEC (Biogeochemical Elemental Cycling model, NPZD-type with C/N/P/Fe/Si/O; same grid as ocean)

E3SM-1.1-ECA: as E3SM-1.1 but with land: ELM (v1.1, same as atmos; active biogeochemistry using the Equilibrium Chemistry Approximation to represent plant and soil carbon and nutrient mechanisms especially carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus limitation)
