Outline CCSM2 Description Status of Control Simulation An Overview of CCSM2 Results with Emphasis on Variability CCSM2 Climate Sensitivity Remaining Challenges

CCSM2 Description CAM2: CCSM Ocean Model Improved Longwave Radiation & Clouds Prognostic Cloud Water Formulation Changes to Convective Precip Increased Vertical Resolution CCSM Ocean Model POP1.4 (with displaced NP into Greenland) Anisotropic horizontal viscosity formulation Increased Horizontal Resolution Revised formulation of G-M Eddy scheme

CCSM2 Description CSIM CLM New Elastic-Viscous-Plastic(EVP) ice rheology New Thermodynamic model, including multi-category ice thickness scheme CLM New biogeophysics formulation Multilayer soil water and T(z) formulation Multilayer snow model with compaction River runoff scheme

Status of Control Simulation Out to year 800, plan to continue simulation to year 1000 Last change made at year 350 (common physical constants) No flux correction applied Model drifts: -0.04 K/century in surface temperature -0.07 K/century in volume avg. ocean T +0.0001 psu/century in volume salinity
