Impacts of Model Horizontal Resolution on Mean Sea-Surface Temperature Biases in the Community Earth System Model

Does Increasing Climate Model Horizontal Resolution Be Beneficial for the Mediterranean Region?: Multimodel Evaluation Framework for High‐Resolution Model Intercomparison Project

“…The study by Kirtman et al (2012) found considerable improvements in SST gradient over North Atlantic, particularly in the high-resolution configuration of the ocean model component in the Community Climate System Model (CCSM) climate simulations. Xu et al (2022) showed the reduction of SST biases in eddy-active regions by increasing the ocean model's horizontal resolution in the Community Earth System Model. On the other hand, Bryan et al (2010) found no significant AV in air-sea interactions by increasing atmospheric resolution from 0.5° and 0.25° atmospheric resolution in the eddy-resolving versions of the NCAR Community Climate System Model (CCSM3.5).…”

“…Enhanced horizontal resolution in ocean models can also positively impact the large-scale simulated features (SST, Wind patterns, El Niño-Southern Oscillation; ENSO) (Kirtman et al, 2012;T. Rackow et al, 2018;Strobach et al, 2020;Xu et al, 2022), including the improved representation of upwelling systems, ocean eddies, and sea surface temperature (SST) fronts. The study by Kirtman et al (2012) found considerable improvements in SST gradient over North Atlantic, particularly in the high-resolution configuration of the ocean model component in the Community Climate System Model (CCSM) climate simulations.…”
