| 英文摘要 | We present a variable-resolution global chemistry-climate model (AM4VR) developed at NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) for research at the nexus of US climate and air quality extremes. AM4VR has a horizontal resolution of 13 km over the US, allowing it to resolve urban-to-rural chemical regimes, mesoscale convective systems, and land-surface heterogeneity. With the resolution gradually reducing to 100 km over the Indian Ocean, we achieve multi-decadal simulations driven by observed sea surface temperatures at 50% of the computational cost for a 25-km uniform-resolution grid. In contrast with GFDL's AM4.1 contributing to the sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project at 100 km resolution, AM4VR features much improved US climate mean patterns and variability. In particular, AM4VR shows improved representation of: precipitation seasonal-to-diurnal cycles and extremes, notably reducing the central US dry-and-warm bias; western US snowpack and summer drought, with implications for wildfires; and the North American monsoon, affecting dust storms. AM4VR exhibits excellent representation of winter precipitation, summer drought, and air pollution meteorology in California with complex terrain, enabling skillful prediction of both extreme summer ozone pollution and winter haze events in the Central Valley. AM4VR also provides vast improvements in the process-level representations of biogenic volatile organic compound emissions, interactive dust emissions from land, and removal of air pollutants by terrestrial ecosystems. We highlight the value of increased model resolution in representing climate-air quality interactions through land-biosphere feedbacks. AM4VR offers a novel opportunity to study global dimensions to US air quality, especially the role of Earth system feedbacks in a changing climate. NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory has developed a new variable-resolution global chemistry-climate model for research at the nexus of US climate and air quality extremes. In contrast with the global models contributing to the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report, this model features more than 10 times finer spatial resolution over the contiguous US, allowing it to better resolve cities, mountain valleys, thunderstorms, and urban-to-rural air quality variations. This model features much improved representation of regional rainfall extremes, drought, and severe air pollution events in diverse US air basins, including California. Notably, this model reduces the central US dry-and-warm bias that has persisted in many generations of climate models. As global climate change leads to more hot and dry weather, the resulting droughts are creating dust-prone bare lands or stressing plants, making them less able to remove ozone pollution from the air. These effects are included in this model, with particular focus on integrating physical, chemical, and biological components at high spatial resolution to understand Earth system feedbacks to US air quality extremes in a changing climate. A new variable-resolution global chemistry-climate model has been developed for research at the nexus of US climate and air quality extremes This model unifies component advances in physics, chemistry and land-atmosphere interactions within a seamless variable-resolution framework This model features much improved US regional precipitation, drought, and air quality extremes compared to previous models |
