The Community Climate System Model (CCSM): An Overview Jim Hurrell Director Climate and Global Dynamics Division Climate and Ecosystem Community Planning Meeting November 2-3, 2005 Boulder, CO

A comprehensive climate model to study the Earth’s Climate. Widely used to investigate the mechanisms of seasonal, interannual and longer-term variability. Explore the history of Earth’s climate. Estimate the future of the environment for policy formulation. The Community Climate System Model

Evolution of CCSM J. Climate, 1998 (Boville and Gent, 1998) CSM 1.0 June 1996 Kiehl and Gent, 2004 CCSM 2.0 May 2002 New ocean, land, sea-ice models New physics in atmospheric model J. Climate, 2006 (Collins et al., 2006) IJHPCA, 2005 CCSM 3.0 June 2004 New physics in all components

Configuration of NCAR CCSM3 Atmosphere (CAM 3.0) T85 (1.4 o ) Ocean (POP 1.4.3) (  1 o ) Coupler (CPL 6) Sea Ice (CSIM 4) (  1 o ) Land (CLM 3.0) T85 (1.4 o )

Standard Configurations T31 x 3T42 x 1 T85 x 1 To facilitate its application, CCSM has been ported to both vector and scalar supercomputers as well as Linux clusters On an IBM SP4 system, the low, intermediate and high resolution configurations require 62, 292, and 1146 CPU hours to simulate one year (Yeager et al. 2006)

Contributions to IPCC Fourth Assessment Three phases: –Pre-industrial (1870) –20th Century ( ) –Emissions Scenarios SRES Scenarios: –Commitment (20 th C. CO 2 ) (8 runs) (4 runs) –A1B and B1 Scenarios (8 runs) Const (5 runs) Const (1 run) –A2 Scenario (8 runs) A1B B1 Commitment

Contributions to IPCC Fourth Assessment Output: 10 GB/simulated year Data volume for IPCC: ~100 TB Largest contribution of any model Eight ensemble members at T85 for each experiment Data available online: PCMDI (IPCC archive) ESG (Control) Original history tapes: SCD Diagnostics on line (web)
