... Leduc et al, 2015) have also pointed to the changing carbon uptake capacity of the terrestrial biosphere as an important contributing factor . 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 4 There may be important differences, however, in the behaviour of the TCRE during periods of increasing vs. decreasing or zero CO2 emissions. Nohara et al. (2015) compared the TCRE response in two comprehensive models for a scenario where CO2 emissions peaked and declined to zero at a total of 1100 Gt C emitted. While both models simulated a near-constant TCRE during the period of increasing emissions, the models behaved differently during the period of declining followed by zero emissions, with one model showing continued warming, while the other simulated stable and then declining temperatures after the point of zero emissions. ...

... The carbon-concentration and carbon-climate feedbacks can be characterized by feedback metrics; for example, by the feedback factors β and γ (Friedlingstein et al., 2003) that quantify the gain/loss of carbon in terrestrial or marine reservoirs per unit change in atmospheric CO 2 concentration and temperature, respectively (see Sect. 2 for details). These feedback factors are valuable tools to compare the feedback strength among different models (Friedlingstein et al., 2003(Friedlingstein et al., , 2006Yoshikawa et al., 2008;Boer and Arora, 2009;Gregory et al., 2009;Roy et al., 2011;Arora et al., 2013Arora et al., , 2020 and can be calculated using idealized model simulations in which the effect of CO 2 on the carbon cycle and the radiative effect of CO 2 are decoupled. In a biogeochemically coupled (BGC) simulation, the radiation code of an ESM does not respond to increasing atmospheric CO 2 concentrations but the terrestrial and marine carbon cycles do. ...

... In MIROC-ES2L, the sea ice component is updated from MIROC4m to a sub-grid multicategory model described in Komuro and Suzuki (2013). The most important update in MIROC-ES2L from previous versions of MIROC-ESM (Watanabe et al., 2011;Kawamiya et al., 2005) is the introduction of a nitrogen cycle. The land nitrogen and carbon cycles are predicted by a modified version of the Vegetation Integrative Simulator for a Trace gas model, VISIT (Ito and Inatomi, 2012), referred to hereafter as VISIT-e. ...

... In what follows, we will refer to this mapping as the gnomonic projection for brevity. The overview of different gnomonic projections can be found in [11]. ...

... These issues motivated the development of global cloud-resolving models (GCRMs) or global convectionpermitting models, such as NICAM (Satoh et al., 2008;Tomita et al., 2005), ICON (Zängl et al., 2015), and MPAS (Skamarock et al., 2012); in these models, cumulus drafts and associated microphysical processes are explicitly treated in relatively high resolution. Many more models have been developed and joined intercomparison projects, such as DYAMOND (Stevens et al., 2019). ...
