EC-Earth3 | EC-Earth-Consortium | The atmosphere-ocean general circulation model is described by Doescher-et-al-2020. The atmosphere is a modified version of IFS cycle 36r4, and includes the land-surface scheme H-TESSEL. The ocean and sea-ice model is NEMO-LIM3 version 3.6 with a few modifications. The OASIS3-MCT coupler version 3.0 is used to exchange fields between the atmosphere and ocean components. |
EC-Earth3-LR | EC-Earth-Consortium | EC-Earth3-Veg | EC-Earth-Consortium | EC-Earth3-Veg-LR | EC-Earth-Consortium | | ). It is based on the cycle 37 of the ARPEGE/IFS model (declared in 2010), developed under a collaboration between Météo-France and ECMWF. ARPEGE-Climat shares a large part of its physics and dynamics with its NWP counterpart ARPEGE used operationally at Météo-France. In comparison to ARPEGE-Climat Version 5.1 used for the CMIP5 exercise in CNRM-CM5.1, most of the atmospheric physics has been updated or revisited (Roehrig et al. 2019, Voldoire et al. 2019). For the surface, it is coupled to the SURFEX platform (Decharme et al. 2019). |

CNRM-ESM2-1 | CNRM-CERFACS | TACTIC (Tropospheric Aerosols for ClimaTe In CNRM) is an interactive tropospheric aerosol scheme, able to represent the main anthropogenic and natural aerosol types in the troposphere. Originally developed in the GEMS/MACC project (Morcrette et al., 2009), this scheme has been adapted to the ARPEGE/ALADIN-Climat models (Michou et al., 2015 and Nabat et al., 2015). Aerosols are included through sectional bins, separating desert dust (3 size bins), sea-salt (3 size bins), sulphate (1 bin, as well as 1 additional variable for sulfate precursors considered as SO2), organic matter (2 bins: hydrophobic and hydrophilic particles) and black carbon (2 bins: hydrophobic and hydrophilic particles) particles. All these 12 species are prognostic variables in the model, submitted to transport (semi-lagrangian advection, and convective transport), dry deposition, in-cloud and below-cloud scavenging. The interaction with shortwave and longwave radiation, is also taken into account through optical properties (extinction coefficient, single scattering albedo and asymmetry parameter) calculated using the Mie theory. Sulfate, organic matter and sea salt concentrations are used to determine the cloud droplet number concentration following Menon et al. (2002), thus representing the cloud-albedo effect (1st indirect aerosol effect). |

GFDL-AM4 | NOAA-GFDL | This is the Atmosphere and Land component (AM4.0.1) of GFDL coupled model CM4.0 for use in CMIP6. The Atmospheric component is identifical to the AM4.0 model documented in Zhao et. al (2018a, 2018b). The vegetation, land and glacier models differ from AM4.0 in the following aspects: 1) dynamical vegetation was used instead the static vegetation used in AM4.0. 2) glacier albedo is retuned. 3) other minor tuning in the land model. |

MIROC6 | MIROC | MIROC6 is a physical climate model mainly composed of three sub-models: atmosphere, land, and sea ice-ocean. The atmospheric model is based on the CCSR-NIES atmospheric general circulation model. The horizontal resolution is a T85 spectral truncation that is an approximately 1.4° grid interval for both latitude and longitude. The vertical grid coordinate is a hybrid σ-p coordinate. The model top is placed at 0.004 hPa, and there are 81 vertical levels. The Spectral Radiation-Transport Model for Aerosol Species (SPRINTARS) is used as an aerosol module for MIROC6 to predict the mass mixing ratios of the main tropospheric aerosols. By coupling the radiation and cloud-precipitation schemes, SPRINTARS calculates not only the aerosol transport processes but also the aerosol-radiation and aerosol-cloud interactions.The land surface model is based on Minimal Advanced Treatments of Surface Interaction and Runoff (MATSIRO), which includes a river routing model based on a kinematic wave flow equation and a lake module where one-dimensional thermal diffusion and mass conservation are considered. The horizontal resolution of the land surface model is the same as that of the atmopheric component. There are a three-layers snow and a six-layers soil down to a 14 m depth.The sea ice-ocean model is based on the CCSR Ocean Component model (COCO). The tripolar horizontal coordinate system is adopted, and the longitudinal grid spacing is 1° and the meridional grid spacing varies from about 0.5° near the equator to 1° in the mid-latitudes. There are 62 vertical levels in a hybrid σ-z coordinate system. A coupler system calculates heat and freshwater fluxes between the sub-models in order to ensure that all fluxes are conserved within machine precision and then exchanges the fluxes among the sub-models. No flux adjustments are used in MIROC6. |
MIROC-ES2L | MIROC | MIROC-AGCM is the atmospheric component of a climate model, the Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate version 6 (MIROC6). The MIROC-AGCM employs a spectral dynamical core, and standard physical parameterizations for cumulus convections, radiative transfer, cloud microphysics, turbulence, and gravity wave drag. It also has an aerosol module. The model is cooperatively developed by the Japanese modeling community including the Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, the University of Tokyo, the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, and the National Institute for Environmental Studies. |

The HAMMOZ consortium is composed of ETH Zurich, Max Planck Institut for Meteorology, Forschungszentrum Jülich, University of Oxford, the Finnish Meteorological Institute and the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research, and managed by the Center for Climate Systems Modeling (C2SM) at ETH Zurich. |

SAM0-UNICON | SNU | The atmospheric component of SEM0 is the Seoul National University Atmospheric Model Version 0 with a Unified Convection Scheme (SAM0-UNICON, Park et al. 2019, Park 2014a,b), which replaces CAM5's shallow and deep convection schemes and revises CAM5's cloud macrophysics scheme (Park et al. 2017). The other components of SEM0 (i.e., ocean, land, land-ice, sea-ice, and coupler) are identical to those of the Community Earth System Model version 1.2 (CESM1.2). |
