Abstract
This paper introduces the experimental designs and outputs of the Diagnostic, Evaluation and Characterization of Klima (DECK), historical, Scenario Model Intercomparison Project (MIP), and Paleoclimate MIP (PMIP) experiments from the Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology Earth System Model version 3 (NESM3). Results show that NESM3 reasonably simulates the modern climate and the major internal modes of climate variability. In the Scenario MIP experiment, changes in the projected surface air temperature (SAT) show robust “Northern Hemisphere (NH) warmer than Southern Hemisphere (SH)” and “land warmer than ocean” patterns, as well as an El Niño-like warming over the tropical Pacific. Changes in the projected precipitation exhibit “NH wetter than SH” and “eastern hemisphere gets wetter and western hemisphere gets drier” patterns over the tropics. These precipitation patterns are driven by circulation changes owing to the inhomogeneous warming patterns. Two PMIP experiments show enlarged seasonal cycles of SAT and precipitation over the NH due to the seasonal redistribution of solar radiation. Changes in the climatological mean SAT, precipitation, and ENSO amplitudes are consistent with the results from PMIP4 models. The NESM3 outputs are available on the Earth System Grid Federation nodes for data users.
摘要
本文系统地介绍了南京信息工程大学研发的地球系统模式NESM3参加第六次国际耦合模式比较计划(CMIP6)的情况,包括气候诊断、评估、描述试验(DECK)、历史气候模拟试验(historical)、情景模式比较计划(ScenarioMIP)和古气候模拟比较计划(PMIP)等试验的模式配置、试验设计和模式输出结果等。模式输出资料已经在地球系统网格联合会(ESGF)数据节点上发布共享。本文进一步评估了NESM3对现代气候、未来气候变化、全新世暖期和末次间冰期气候的模拟性能。历史气候模拟试验结果表明,模式能够较好地重现现代气候平均态和地球系统主要内部模态。情景预估试验揭示人为排放下未来全球变暖的空间不均一性将调制全球降水的空间分布。PMIP试验结果表明,全新世暖期和末次间冰期太阳辐射的变化加剧了北半球温度、降水等的季节变化和影响ENSO振幅。本文将有助于用户更好理解NESM3的模拟性能及应用数据集。
