Record Label : faf-antwater-stress
Record Title : control plus perturbative surface fluxes of momentum and freshwater into ocean, the latter around the coast of Antarctica only
Record identifier : 136575de-6eba-11ea-a0d8-1c4d70487308
Description : 1xCO2 experiment, parallel to piControl, forced over the ocean with the momentum flux perturbation field of faf-stress and a surface freshwater flux of 0.1 Sv (100000 m3 s-1) in total to be applied uniformly around the coast of Antarctica in whatever way is most suitable in the model. The faf-stress momentum flux imposes a perturbation in surface zonal and meridional momentum flux i.e. wind stress. The stress perturbation is added to the momentum balance of the ocean water surface. The stress perturbation is calculated from the ensemble mean of the CMIP5 1pctCO2 simulations at the time of CO2 doubling. Its dominant feature is the increase in westerly windstress in the Southern Ocean. Impose pre-industrial atmospheric conditions. Branch from the piControl at the same point as the 1pctCO2 experiment.
