Abstract. We present a numerical method to enforce global conservation of atmospheric axial angular momentum (AM) in the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM). We discuss the results in a hierarchy of numerical simulations of the atmosphere of increasing complexity, and we demonstrate the importance of global AM conservation in climate simulations.
