TL;DR: The Community Earth System Model (CESM) as discussed by the authors is a community tool used to investigate a diverse set of Earth system interactions across multiple time and space scales, including biogeochemical cycles, a variety of atmospheric chemistry options, the Greenland Ice Sheet, and an atmosphere that extends to the lower thermosphere.

TL;DR: The Community Earth System Model (CESM) community designed the CESM Large Ensemble with the explicit goal of enabling assessment of climate change in the presence of internal climate variability as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the formulation and simulation characteristics of two new global coupled climate models developed at NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) are described and two versions of the coupled model are described.

TL;DR: The Community Earth System Model Version 2 (CESM2) as discussed by the authors is the most recent version of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMEI) coupled model.

TL;DR: The configuration and performance of a new global atmosphere and land model for climate research developed at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) are presented in this article, where the performance of the coupled model AM2•LM2 is evaluated with a series of prescribed sea surface temperature (SST) simulations.
