Abstract Project: CMIP7

Coupled climate carbon cycle model intercomparison project: exploration of the response of the coupled carbon-climate system.

Produced by: The ACCESS Consortium brings together Australian institutions contributing to the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator (ACCESS) and its submissions to the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). Participating organisations contribute to different ACCESS models and scientific activities, supported through a combination of institutional investment and Australian Government research infrastructure and research programs, together with international collaborations. (Using Model/Source: ACCESS-ESM1-6 with Experiment 1pctCO2-rad)

The model is an updated version of ACCESS-ESM1-5, as used for CMIP6 (Ziehn et al., 2020). Its dynamic components are the UK Met Office Unified Model atmosphere (v7.3) in a configuration similar to HadGEM2 including CLASSIC aerosols, with the CABLE land surface model (v3) including land biogeochemistry. The atmosphere is coupled to the MOM5 ocean with WOMBATlite biogeochemistry and CICE5 sea-ice using the OASIS-MCT coupler. Chemistry is prescribed including monthly mean, zonally-averaged ozone. Volcano forcing is prescribed as stratospheric optical depth as monthly means in four equal area latitude bands. Land-ice is represented by an ice tile in the land surface model. A grid-cell is either completely ice or ice-free and the ice tile distribution does not change in time. The main differences from ACCESS-ESM1.5 include corrections to how convective momentum transport had been applied in the atmosphere, a change to ocean albedo to better match observations, a correction to the passing of ocean carbon fluxes into the atmosphere, updates to improve energy and water conservation across the land and atmosphere, inclusion of 3 new plant functional types (c4 crops and two Australian tree types), improvements to the treatment of land-use change, updates to some of the land parameterisations or parameter values, the inclusion of a pseudo-iceberg scheme for distributing runoff from Antarctica and Greenland and a substantial update to ocean-biogeochemistry. Many aspects of the model infrastructure have also been improved to ensure greater provenance, better support for users and enhanced model throughput. A manuscript describing ACCESS-ESM1.6 is in preparation (Ziehn et al.).

Experiment: Radiatively coupled simulation (i.e. the carbon cycle only 'sees' the increase in temperature, not any change in atmospheric carbon dioxide) of a 1% per year increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. All other conditions are kept the same as piControl.

CMIP7 is a project of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), providing climate projections to understand past, present, and future climate changes. It is part of the WCRP Earth System Modelling and Observations (ESMO) Core Project, which was formed to coordinate all modelling, data, and observation activities across WCRP and its key partners. Further details can be found here and in the CMIP7 Guidance pages. Parties using CMIP data should ensure they have read the WCRP CMIP (2026) CMIP Data Disclaimer.
