1.5 Experiments: AMIP with patterned 4K SST increase (amip-future4K)

Record Label : amip-future4K

Record Title : AMIP with patterned 4K SST increase

Record identifier : f16d45ce-dd9e-11e6-b89b-ac72891c3257

Description : Continuation of CFMIP-2 AMIP experiments and CMIP5 experiment 6.6. Add a composite SST warming pattern (derived from coupled models, scaled to a global mean of 4K) to the AMIP sea surface temperatures (SSTs). This warming should be applied to the ice free ocean surface only. Sea ice and SSTs under sea ice remain the same as in the amip DECK experiment. The patterned SST forcing dataset is available in a netcdf file called cfmip2_4k_patterned_sst_forcing.vn1.0.nc in the supplementary information for the CMIP6/CFMIP description paper (Webb et. al. 2016).
