ModelE CMIP7 Climate Simulations
Configurations for CMIP7 Simulations
GISS will submit a number of different configurations to the CMIP7 model data repository via the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF). A local dataportal for all these results will be available here (Not yet available).
The following configurations will be used for the DECK (including historical) and various MIP simulations:
- GISS-E3.1: ModelE/GISS Ocean C90;L110.
This is an updated and improved version of GISS-E3 used in CMIP6. It uses the ModelE atmospheric code on a cubed-sphere
grid, with 110 layers in the vertical, a model top at 0.002 hPa (85km) and is coupled to the GISS ocean model (1×1.25×
;L40). There are multiple configurations that encompass differences in the interactivity of atmospheric composition,
tuning parameter variations, and additional earth system components (fire, minearological dust, carbon cycle etc.). Not all potential variations will be submitted to ESGF.
- GISS-E3.1 Aerosols and ozone are read in via pre-computed transient aerosol and ozone fields. The aerosol indirect effect is parameterized.
- GISS-E3.1-[M|O] Atmospheric composition is calculated using the MATRIX or OMA scheme and the G-PUCCINI chemistry, including the aerosol impacts on clouds.
- GISS-E3.1-[M|O]P Atmospheric composition is calculated using the MATRIX or OMA scheme, G-PUCCINI chemistry, including the aerosol impacts on clouds. Biomass burning emissions are derived from the interactive fire module PyrE.
- GISS-E3.1-[M|O]G Atmospheric composition is calculated using the MATRIX or OMA scheme , but with the GMI chemistry, including the aerosol impacts on clouds.
- GISS-E3.1-[xx]-CC Variations as above, but with interactive carbon cycle driven by carbon emissions.
We will use the physics_version field in the ripf designation to correspond to the different parameter settings derived from the Calibrated Physics Ensemble (CPE) as defined in Elsaesser et al. (2025).
Updates, DOIs, and corrections for any submitted data will be noted here.
