EAM Output: Annual and Monthly Averages from Time Step Sensitivity Experiments

Model output from the E3SM Atmosphere Model used in a time step sensitivity study by Wan et al. (2020). This archive contains annual and monthly averages of various variables from simulations conducted with EAMv0 and EAMv1. The data was produced by Shixuan Zhang of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, with associated source code archived on Zenodo.

Use Cases

• Analyze model sensitivity to time step configuration based on the described time step experiments.
• Compare output variables between EAMv0 and EAMv1 model versions as mentioned in the description.
• Validate climate model performance using the annual and monthly average data provided.
• Study the impact of temporal discretization on simulated climate processes.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a peer-reviewed study published in GMDD (Wan et al., 2020).
• Includes output from two distinct model versions, EAMv0 and EAMv1, enabling comparison.
• Model source code for the simulations is publicly archived with a DOI (10.5281/zenodo.4118705).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and total data size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
