1.5 Experiments: coupled control with fixed 1950's forcing (HighResMIP equivalent of pre-industrial control) (control-1950)

Record Label : control-1950

Record Title : coupled control with fixed 1950's forcing (HighResMIP equivalent of pre-industrial control)

Record identifier : 6131b7d0-4cff-11e7-903f-5404a60d96b5

Description : The HighResMIP equivalent of the pre-industrial control with fixed 1950s forcing. The forcing consists of greenhouse gases, including ozone and aerosol loading for a 1950s (~10 year mean) climatology. For optimal comparison between models, aerosol concentrations are recommended (rather than emissions). Initial conditions from the spinup-1950 experiment. At least one ensemble member at high resolution, minimum atmosphere 25-50 km at mid-latitudes and ocean resolution of 0.25 degrees, and a minimum of daily coupling between ocean and atmosphere. At least one ensemble member at standard model resolution. Run for 100 years.
