UKESM - UK Earth System Model

I lead the NCEO evaluation of the UK Earth System Model as part of the NERC Long-term Science Multi-Centre project.

Aims of UKESM LTSM Project

To develop a world-leading Earth system model (UKESM1) to contribute to 6th Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), the primary international modelling support for IPCC AR6.
Make UKESM1 available to the NERC research community.
To advance (e.g. through peer reviewed publications) the science of Earth system modelling, our understanding of the coupled Earth system and its future sensitivity to human activities.
To provide a comprehensive set of future Earth system projections for use by UK scientists, government departments and regulatory bodies.
