Description
Summary:The National Center for Atmospheric Research’s Community Earth System Model version 2.2 (CESM2) (Danabasoglu et al., 2020) was run in the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) configuration. SSTs and sea-ice were prescribed as monthly varying seasonal cycles based on the observed climatology from 2005 to 2015 (i.e., component set: F2010climo) (Hurrell et al., 2008). We employed the Community Atmosphere Model version 6 (CAM6) (Bogenschutz et al., 2018) as the atmospheric component and the Community Land Model version 5 (CLM5) (Lawrence et al., 2019) as the land-surface component. Each model was run with a horizontal resolution of 0.9˚ latitude by 1.25˚ longitude. We ran a control simulation in this configuration for ten consecutive years. We then modified the land-surface restart files for May 1st of each year by reducing the snow cover over North America to zero. Using these modified files, we then completed a reduced snow simulation by rerunning three-month simulations from May through July for ... : {"references": ["Bogenschutz, P. A., A. Gettelman, C.
