Increasing availability of ocean biogeochemical data, as well as an improved understanding of the underlying processes, allow advances in the marine biogeochemical components of the current generation of Earth system models (ESMs). The present study scrutinizes the extent to which marine biogeochemistry components of ESMs have progressed between the 5th and the 6th phases of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP).
The changes or updates in ocean biogeochemistry component have been mapped between CMIP5 and CMIP6 model versions across several axes, including model resolution, complexity and the interactions of marine biogeochemistry with climate or ocean physics.
Closely related to the review of the changes or updates in ocean biogeochemistry component within CMIP5 and CMIP6 ESMs, an skill assessment have been made to determine how far these changes have led to improvements in the simulated mean-state of marine biogeochemical models within the current generation of ESMs.
This work shows that the representation of marine biogeochemistry has progressed within the current generation of Earth system models. However, it remains difficult to identify which model updates are responsible for a given improvement. In addition, the full potential of marine biogeochemistry in terms of Earth system interactions and climate feedback remains poorly examined in the current generation of Earth system models.
