E3SMFC

SAND2025-01123O E3SMFC is a software tool that integrates a feedback controller algorithm into the E3SM climate model to regulate sulfur dioxide injection, aiming to achieve specific climate outcomes. The program uses proportional-integral-derivative feedback control to adjusts sulfur dioxide levels in both spatial and temporal dimensions. It will only operate on computers that can run the DOE climate model E3SM. Sandia National Laboratories is a multimission laboratory managed and operated by National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc., for the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-NA0003525.

Conditional multi-step attribution for climate forcings

SAND2025-11608O Conditional multi-step attribution for climate forcings and its associated dataset present a framework for attributing a climate impacts, such as stratospheric warming or surface cooling, to a specific magnitude of climate forcing, such as stratospheric aerosol injection. The objective is to improve on existing methods that struggle to attribute highly noisy climate signals. This has potential broader use in climate security applications to identify and understand geoengineering and climate tipping point effects.
