AB: The CASA' biosphere model, previously used in the Climate System Model Version 1 (CSM1), was recently coupled to the Community Land Model Version 3 (CLM3) within the NCAR Community Climate System Model Version 3 (CCSM3). CLM3 with CASA' was vectorized and optimized for performance portability on both vector and scalar supercomputer architectures. The resulting coupled model system was used to perform a set of simulations following the Coupled Carbon Cycle Climate Model Intercomparison Project (C4MIP) Phase 1 protocol with active atmosphere and land components on the Cray X1E vector supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Presented will be preliminary results from transient simulations using prescribed land cover, sea surface temperatures (SSTs), ice cover, ocean carbon fluxes, and fossil fuel emissions. The transient simulations all cover the period 1900-2000 under both fixed radiative and fully prognostic CO₂ conditions. Also discussed will be the results from a fully coupled biogeochemistry simulation which includes an active ocean component (POP2 with biogeochemistry) and an active sea ice model using the newer finite volume dynamical core in the atmosphere model.
