However, quantifying this process in situ is challenging. Using global data sets on SOC stocks and carbon inputs, we trained a depth-resolved SOC model incorporating VT and PE to assess the vertical gradient of VT and PE, and explore their roles in regulating whole-profile SOC dynamics in response to climate change. The results indicate that VT-induced redistribution of SOC is essential for capturing observed profile distribution of SOC stocks. Transported carbon from neighboring layers accounted for 8%–27% of total layer-specific carbon inputs, varying by depth and ecosystem type, and regulated SOC turnover behavior via the PE, especially in deeper layers. Precipitation emerged as the most important factor influencing layer-specific VT. While the PE was higher in upper layers, it was far from its maximum potential in deeper layers, making SOC dynamics in these layers more sensitive to carbon input changes. If VT and PE gradients are not considered, the sensitivity of whole-profile SOC to warming will be underestimated, and the impact of carbon input changes will be overestimated, particularly in deeper layers. Our findings highlight the critical role of VT and PE in controlling whole-profile SOC dynamics, underscoring the need to explicitly include these processes in Earth system models for reliable whole-profile SOC predictions under climate change.</p>","PeriodicalId":14881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems","volume":"17 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024MS004670","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143856824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The non-orographic gravity waves increase the variability of chemical reaction rates, especially in the lower mesosphere. As an example, we show that this, in turn, leads to increases in the daytime ozone variability. To demonstrate another impact, we briefly investigate the role of non-orographic gravity waves in cirrus cloud formation in this model. Consistent with findings from the previous study focusing on orographic gravity waves, non-orographic waves also enhance homogeneous nucleation and increase cirrus clouds.

At mesoscales and submesoscales, baroclinic instability is one of the main drivers of turbulence, but spurious numerical instabilities can also arise, leading to nonphysical dynamics. This study investigates a spurious instability termed Baroclinic Instability of Computational Kind (BICK), discovered in Arakawa and Moorthi (1988, https://doi.org/10.1175/1520-0469(1988)045<1688:BIIVDS>2.0.CO;2) and Bell and White (2017, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocemod.2017.08.001), through idealized configurations using a vertical (Modified) Lorenz grid. Here, we explore the growth of BICK within quasi-geostrophic (QG) and hydrostatic primitive-equation (HPE) frameworks for different setups: the canonical Eady configuration, stratification-modified Eady configurations, and a surface-intensified jet configuration. Our results confirm that the emergence of BICK is specific to the vertical staggering of the (Modified) Lorenz grids. Its growth is consistent with linear QG theory, and BICK is confined near the surface and bottom boundaries. In HPE simulations, the nonlinear evolution of BICK generates small-scale spurious eddies and reduces frontal sharpness. Increasing the number of levels reduces BICK's horizontal scale down to below the model's effective resolution. We illustrate this property using regional HPE simulations with a varying number of levels. BICK is found to significantly affect the vertically under-resolved simulations by introducing small-scale noise from both the bottom and surface boundaries.

Recently, the hybridization of DA and deep learning has opened new perspectives to address model-data interactions. This paper explores its potential contribution to the analysis of a chaotic oceanic phenomenon: the centennial to millennial variability of the North Atlantic ocean circulation during the last glacial period. The implemented neural approach—4DVarNet—yields meaningful improvements over a classical variational DA method in reconstructing regime shifts of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), especially when fewer observations are available. Interestingly, results exhibit that exploiting explicitly the a priori dynamical model does not lead to better performances compared to a data-driven model. Additionally, we compare four sampling strategies to assess how observation patterns influence the capture of unstable AMOC phases. We highlight the gain of regular over random sampling strategies, with reconstruction errors dropping below 2% for a 100-year sampling period. We find that monitoring the AMOC with regular clusters of three consecutive observation points can reduce errors by a factor of five. Eventually, we assess 4DVarNet's robustness in reconstructing a partially-observed system and in generalizing to different dynamical regimes. We also investigate on the maximum sampling periods that 4DVarNet can assimilate without compromising reconstruction quality.

With its dynamic convective mixing length, CATKE predicts not just the depth spanned by convective plumes but also the characteristic convective mixing timescale, an important aspect of turbulent convection not captured by simpler static CA schemes. As a result, CATKE can describe the competition between convection and other processes such as shear-driven mixing and baroclinic restratification.
