Abstract:

To evaluate parameterizations in models, simulations have often been performed with only one change to one parameterization at a time. This is not efficient and can be both time-consuming and computationally expensive. This data represents a Perturbed Parameter Ensemble (PPE) technique, where multiple parameters are varied simultaneously and the parameter values are determined with Latin Hypercube sampling. Then an emulator is developed in the multi-dimensional space mapping input parameters to output metrics. We apply the PPE method to CESM2 CAM6 to understand climate sensitivity to atmospheric physics parameters. The initial simulations vary 44 parameters in the microphysics, convective, turbulence and aerosol schemes with 250 ensembles. This will be extended. These atmospheric parameters are typically the most uncertain in many climate models. We analyze control simulations, and targeted simulations to understand climate forcing due to aerosols, and fast climate feedbacks. The PPE is applicable to other configurations to address questions of other model processes in the atmosphere and other model components (e.g. coupling to the land surface).

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
