Caspian Sea and Black Sea Response to Greenhouse Warming in a High‐Resolution Global Climate Model

Abstract: The Caspian Sea and the Black Sea are the Earth's largest inland seas. How their temperature, circulation, and freshwater balance will respond to greenhouse warming remains unresolved. Previous studies have relied on coarse‐resolution coupled or regional uncoupled climate models with limited abilities to resolve regional features. Here, we present results from century‐long greenhouse warming simulations conducted with the Community Earth System Model using a global horizontal resolution of 1/10° in the ocean a… Show more

“…This process could be exacerbated in the future due to potential climate and land use changes. Furthermore, the projected decrease in streamflow in both the SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios compared to the base period, along with a projected decline in the water level of the Caspian Sea [72][73][74] , could lead to further reduction of the Anzali wetland's size. This poses a significant threat to the wetland's biodiversity, water quality, and biogeochemical processes 1 , and result in resigning the wetland from the Montreux record list and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance.…”

“…We use total precipitation data from the ERA5 reanalysis data set (Hersbach et al ., 2020) with a horizontal grid resolution of about 30 km and simulation data from the high‐resolution Community Earth System Model (CESM) version 1.2.2 (Small et al ., 2014; Chu et al ., 2020; Huang et al ., 2021; Wengel et al ., 2021), which is a fully coupled model with components for the atmosphere, the ocean, the land surface, sea ice and river‐runoff. The atmosphere has a horizontal grid resolution of about 25 km and 30 vertical levels.…”

“…The CESM 1.2.2 ultra-high-resolution climate simulation project, known as CESM-UHR, aims to advance our understanding of multi-scale interactions and processes associated with extreme weather and climate in the context of greenhouse warming (Chu et al 2020, Huang et al 2021, Wengel et al 2021, Kad et al 2023, Liu et al 2023, Moon et al 2023 Three century-long experiments were conducted using CESM-UHR to assess the impact of anthropogenic greenhouse warming on surface mesoscale eddy characteristics. Figure S1a shows a diagram of the CESM-UHR climate experiments used in this study.…”
