1.5 Experiments: pre-industrial climatological SSTs and forcing, but with 2014 methane concentrations (including chemistry) (piClim-CH4)

Record Label : piClim-CH4

Record Title : pre-industrial climatological SSTs and forcing, but with 2014 methane concentrations (including chemistry)

Record identifier : 70e42898-54ca-11e7-a104-5404a60d96b5

Description : Fixed SST ERF simulation. Use pre-industrial climatological average SST and sea-ice distributions. Apply present day (2014) concentrations of methane (CH4) all other WMGHG (well mixed greenhouse gas) concentrations set to pre-industrial levels. Apply pre-industrial emissions of NTCF (near term climate forcers). This is a timeslice experiment of 30 years total. The model should have the capacity for interactive tropospheric and stratospheric chemistry.
