The UKESM1-0-LL model is the first version of the United Kingdom Earth System Model. UKESM1-0-LL uses the coupled climate model HadGEM3-GC31-LL as its physical core, with the following components interactively coupled: terrestrial carbon and nitrogen cycles, including dynamic vegetation and representation of agricultural land use change; ocean biogeochemistry (BGC) with prognostic diatom and non-diatom concentrations and a unified troposphere–stratosphere chemistry model, tightly coupled to a multi-species modal aerosol scheme.

The model resolution – both vertical and horizontal – and details of the sea ice and ocean components of UKESM1-0-LL are otherwise identical to that of HadGEM3-GC31-LL described above.

The UKESM1-0-LL model is described further in Sellar et al. (2019).
