ESMs can be used to understand climate feedbacks between physical, chemical, and biological processes and predict future climate. We developed a new ESM, UKESM-TOPAZ, by coupling the UK ESM (UKESM1) and the Tracers of Phytoplankton with Allometric Zooplankton (TOPAZ) biogeochemical module. We then compared the preliminary simulated biogeochemical variables, which were conducted over a period of 70 years, using observational and existing UKESM1 model data. Similar to UKESM1, the newly developed UKESM-TOPAZ closely simulated the relationship between the El Niño-Southern Oscillation and chlorophyll concentration anomalies during the boreal winter. However, there were differences in the chlorophyll distributions in the eastern equatorial Pacific between the two models, which were due to dissolved iron, as this value was higher in UKESM-TOPAZ than in UKESM1. In a mean field analysis, the distributions of the major marine biogeochemical variables in UKESM-TOPAZ (i.e., nitrate, silicate, dissolved oxygen, dissolved inorganic carbon, and alkalinity) were not significantly different from those of UKESM1, likely because the models share the same initial conditions. Our results indicate that TOPAZ has a simulation performance that does not lag behind UKESM1’s basic biogeochemical model (Model of Ecosystem Dynamics, nutrient Utilisation, Sequestration, and Acidification; MEDUSA). The UKESM-TOPAZ model can simulate the variability of the observed Niño 3.4 and 4 indices more closely than UKESM1. Thus, the UKESM-TOPAZ model can be used to deepen our understanding of the Earth system and to estimate ESM uncertainty.
