# ACE-climSST-EAMv2

Ai2 Climate Emulator (ACE) is a family of models designed to simulate atmospheric variability from the time scale of days to centuries.

**Disclaimer: ACE models are research tools and should not be used for operational climate predictions.**

ACE-climSST-EAMv2 is the model described in [Application of the AI2 Climate Emulator to E3SMv2's Global Atmosphere Model, With a Focus on Precipitation Fidelity](https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2024JH000136).
It is trained on output from the E3SMv2's atmosphere model (i.e. EAMv2) forced with annually-repeating climatological sea surface temperature.

Briefly, the strengths of ACE-climSST-EAMv2 are:
- long-term stability
- highly accurate time-mean climate compared to its target dataset
- faithful emulation of the precipitation distribution and tropical variability in EAMv2

Some known weaknesses are:
- responses to El Niño-like sea surface temperature and long-term warming trends are not accurately captured
- small but non-zero drifts in total dry air mass of the atmosphere

Note the checkpoint provided here is the same as the one [here](https://portal.nersc.gov/archive/home/projects/e3sm/www/e3smv2-fme-dataset), just with the optimizer state removed to decrease the checkpoint size.
