This is -Sapphire: a version of ICON developed at MPI-M with the support of to run at (sub)kilometer resolutions. At theses scales, we can get rid of parameterisations of convection, resolve mesoscale ocean eddies, and see interactions of small and large scales governing our climate.

In this flagship paper bit.ly/3IcNxnV we showcase our highest-resolution-ever fully-coupled Earth System Model. Find out why we've done it, how we've done it, and what we've achieved.

wk1, early bc tomorrow is a day off.

Before a climate model produces meaningful results, it has to "spin-up" (run freely) for hundreds of model years. That's obviously a waste of time/money, so modellers try to minimise it.

Ridley et al. (2022) shows that for their model, the spin up was too short (only 700 years) -> no TOA radiative flux balance yet -> ocean heat accumulates -> Southern Ocean deep convection starts -> boom.
