Abstract

Abstract:

The Earth System Modeling Center in Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology (NUIST) has been devoted in the NUIST Earth system model (ESM) development over recent years. The newly developed NUIST-ESM v3 is largely improved in the presentation of boundary layer processes, cumulus convection, microphysics processes, coupling physics and sea ice albedo scheme. As a new participator in the phase six of Coupled Model Comparison Project (CMIP6), NUIST-ESM v3 registered the Diagnostic, Evaluation and Characterization of Klima (DECK), Historical experiment and seven CMIP6-endorsed MIPs, such as ScenarioMIP, DAMIP, GMMIP, DCPP, PMIP, VolMIP and GeoMIP. Currently, the DECK and Historical experiment data is ready for submission and the MIPs experiments are in the process.

Key words: NUIST-ESM, CMIP6, Model Intercomparison Projects (MIPs), Earth system model (ESM)
