      The second version of the coupled Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM2) is presented and evaluated. NorESM2 is based on the second version of the Community Earth System Model (CESM2) and shares with CESM2 the computer ...
    • Projecting circum-Arctic excess-ground-ice melt with a sub-grid representation in the Community Land Model 

      Cai, Lei; Lee, Hanna; Aas, Kjetil Schanke; Westermann, Sebastian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      To address the long-standing underrepresentation of the influences of highly variable ground ice content on the trajectory of permafrost conditions simulated in Earth system models under a warming climate, we implement a ...
    • Thaw processes in ice-rich permafrost landscapes represented with laterally coupled tiles in a land surface model 

      Aas, Kjetil Schanke; Martin, Leo Celestin Paul; Nitzbon, Jan; Langer, Moritz; Boike, Julia; Lee, Hanna; Berntsen, Terje Koren; Westermann, Sebastian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Earth system models (ESMs) are our primary tool for projecting future climate change, but their ability to represent small-scale land surface processes is currently limited. This is especially true for permafrost landscapes ...
