英文摘要	Results from the new Department of Energy super-parameterized (SP) Energy Exascale Earth System Model (SP-E3SM) are analyzed and compared to the traditionally parameterized E3SMv1 and previous studies using SP models. SP-E3SM is unique in that it utilizes Graphics Processing Unit hardware acceleration, cloud resolving model mean-state acceleration, and reduced radiation to dramatically increase the model throughput and allow decadal experiments at 100-km external resolution. It also differs from other SP models by using a spectral element dynamical core on a cubed-sphere grid and a finer vertical grid with a higher model top. Despite these differences, SP-E3SM generally reproduces the behavior of other SP models. Tropical wave variability is improved relative to E3SM, including the emergence of a Madden-Julian Oscillation and a realistic slowdown of Moist Kelvin Waves. However, the distribution of precipitation exhibits indicates an overly frequent occurrence of rain rates less than 1 mm day-1, and while the timing of diurnal rainfall shows modest improvements the signal is not as coherent as observations. A notable grid imprinting bias is identified in the precipitation field and attributed to a unique feedback associated with the interactions between the explicit cloud resolving model convection and the spectral element grid structure. Spurious zonal mean column water tendencies due to grid imprinting are quantified—while negligible for the conventionally parameterized E3SM, they become large with super-parameterization, approaching 10% of the physical tendencies. The implication is that finding a remedy to grid imprinting will become especially important as spectral element dynamical cores begin to be combined with explicitly resolved convection. ©2020.
