Effects of Model Resolution and Ocean Mixing on Forced Ice‐Ocean Physical and Biogeochemical Simulations Using Global and Regional System Models
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The current coarse‐resolution global Community Earth System Model (CESM) can reproduce major and large‐scale patterns but is still missing some key biogeochemical features in the Arctic Ocean, e.g., low surface nutrients in the Canada Basin. We incorporated the CESM Version 1 ocean biogeochemical code into the Regional Arctic System Model (RASM) and coupled it with a sea‐ice algal module to investigate model limitations. Four ice‐ocean hindcast cases are compared with various observations: two in a global 1° (40∼60 km in the Arctic) grid: G1deg and G1deg‐OLD with/without new sea‐ice processes incorporated; two on RASM's 1/12° (∼9 km) grid R9km and R9km‐NB with/without a subgrid scale brine rejection parameterization which improves ocean vertical mixing under sea ice. Higher‐resolution and new sea‐ice processes contributed to lower model errors in sea‐ice extent, ice thickness, and ice algae. In the Bering Sea shelf, only higher resolution contributed to lower model errors in salinity, nitrate (NO 3 ), and chlorophyll‐a (Chl‐a). In the Arctic Basin, model errors in mixed layer depth (MLD) were reduced 36% by brine rejection parameterization, 20% by new sea‐ice processes, and 6% by higher resolution. The NO 3 concentration biases were caused by both MLD bias and coarse resolution, because of excessive horizontal mixing of high NO 3 from the Chukchi Sea into the Canada Basin in coarse resolution models. R9km showed improvements over G1deg on NO 3 , but not on Chl‐a, likely due to light limitation under snow and ice cover in the Arctic Basin.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
