The EU project European Eddy RIch Earth System Models (EERIE) is developing a new generation of Earth System Models (ESMs) that explicitly resolve ocean mesoscale dynamics, an essential but still poorly explored part of the climate system. By using recent advances in computing and model design, EERIE aims to improve long-term climate simulations, including variability, extremes, and potential tipping points influenced by mesoscale ocean processes. ICON in Sapphire configuration is one of these new models. Developed at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, ICON couples the atmosphere, land, ocean, and sea ice at kilometer-scale resolution. It resolves deep atmospheric convection and captures mesoscale to sub-mesoscale ocean eddies, with the option to refine the global ocean grid locally as a “computational telescope.” The atmospheric component uses a nonhydrostatic icosahedral C grid with a hybrid sigma-z vertical coordinate and parameterizes only unresolved processes (radiation, microphysics, turbulence). The ocean component shares the same grid and solves the hydrostatic Boussinesq equations, using only a subset of parameterizations such as vertical mixing and velocity dissipation. Sea ice is included via FESIM dynamics and a simplified thermodynamic scheme. Ocean biogeochemistry is represented by HAMOCC6, simulating more than 20 tracers. The land component, JSBACH 4, provides surface fluxes and simplified hydrology with prescribed vegetation. All components are coupled through the YAC coupler (v2.4.2). The main simulations were preceded by a 40-year spin-up period using 1950 CMIP6 forcing. From the spin-up’s final state, two parallel simulations were started: a 100-year control run and a historical run. The control run is used to identify and quantify model drift, ensuring that any long-term changes in the historical simulation could be attributed to variations in radiative forcing rather than internal drift. After completing the historical simulation, the experiment was extended along the SSP2-4.5 pathway to 2050, using CMIP6 scenario forcings. This extension enables estimates of near-future climate change from a long-term, kilometer-scale simulation.

nuArctic aims at increasing our understanding of the remineralization of nutrients and carbon in the Arctic Ocean and its feedbacks with the Earth System, i.e. the capacity of the Arctic Ocean to be productive and to act as a carbon sink into the future. To do so, the project is proposing modeling advances to increase the robustness of model projections. This project includes global model simulations with the global multi-resolution Finite Volume Sea Ice-Ocean Model (FESOM version 2.1) coupled to the Regulated Ecosystem Model (REcoM version 3, Gürses et al. 2024). For this project, model simulations include a representation of terrigenous inputs from both rivers and coastal erosion and were run from 1970-2100 on a model grid with eddy-permitting (4.5 km) resolution at pan-Arctic scale. The ocean-only model simulations were forced at the ocean surface with 3-hourly atmospheric output from the AWI Climate Model (Semmler et al. 2020). The project includes model experiments under four “Shared Socioeconomic Pathways” emission scenarios, a control run and sensitivity experiments. This work lead to the publication of Oziel et al. 2025 ("Climate change and terrigenous inputs decrease the efficiency of the future Arctic Ocean’s biological carbon pump » in 2025 in Nature Climate Change) which comprises a detailed description of the methods, model experiments and setups but also a publication of the source code and post-processing scripts (Oziel, 2024).
