Impact of Grids and Dynamical Cores in CESM2.2 on the Surface Mass Balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet by Adam R. Herrington, Peter H. Lauritzen, Marcus Lofverstrom, William H. Lipscomb, Andrew Gettelman, Mark A. Taylor

“…Abstract Six different configurations, a mixture of grids and atmospheric dynamical cores available in the Community Earth System Model, version 2.2 (CESM2.2), are evaluated for their skill in representing the climate of the Arctic and the surface mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS). The finite‐volume dynamical core uses structured, latitude‐longitude grids, whereas the spectral‐element dynamical core is built on unstructured meshes, permitting grid flexibility such as quasi‐uniform grid spacing globally. …”
