CanESM5 employs the same biogeochemistry module as CanESM2 whereas CanESM5-CanOE (“Canadian Ocean Ecosystem model”) is a new, more complex biogeochemistry module developed for Sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), with multiple food chains, flexible phytoplankton elemental ratios, and a prognostic iron cycle. This new model is described in detail and the outputs compared to CanESM5 and CanESM2, as well as to observations and other CMIP6 models. Both CanESM5 models show gains in skill relative to CanESM2, which are attributed primarily to improvements in ocean circulation. CanESM5-CanOE shows improved skill relative to CanESM5 in some areas. CanESM5-CanOE includes a prognostic iron cycle, and maintains high nutrient / low chlorophyll conditions in the expected regions (in CanESM2 and CanESM5, iron limitation is specified as a temporally static ‘mask’). Surface nitrate concentrations are biased low in the subarctic Pacific and equatorial Pacific, and high in the Southern Ocean. Export production in CanESM5-CanOE is among the lowest for CMIP6 models; in CanESM5 it is among the highest, but shows the most rapid decline after about 1980. CanESM5-CanOE has relatively low concentrations of zooplankton and detritus relative to phytoplankton, and a high and relatively constant living phytoplankton fraction of total particulate organic matter. In most regions, large and small phytoplankton show decoupled seasonal cycles with greater abundance of large phytoplankton in the productive seasons. Cumulative ocean uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide through 2014 is lower in both CanESM5 models than in observation-based estimates or the model ensemble mean, and is lower in CanESM5-CanOE (122 PgC) than in CanESM5 (132 PgC).
