SCIENCE AND TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS
Phosphorus Limits C Sink
ELM v1 Amazon simulations show phosphorus limitation significantly reduces the carbon sink >>Improved Glacier Modeling
Incorporating climate variability near Thwaites Glacier leads to slower modeled glacier retreat >>SAM Modeling in E3SM
E3SM simulations capture the dominant feature of the SAM pattern reasonably well >>Variable Resolution Mesh
The quality of the variable-resolution mesh affects E3SM's MPAS-Ocean simulation statistics >>
