1.5 Experiments: as piSST with radiation-only seeing 4xCO2 (piSST-4xCO2-rad)

Record Label : piSST-4xCO2-rad

Record Title : as piSST with radiation-only seeing 4xCO2

Record identifier : f16d79cc-dd9e-11e6-b89b-ac72891c3257

Description : An AGCM experiment with monthly-varying SSTs and sea-ice taken from each model's own piControl simulation (using the 30 years of piControl that are parallel to years 111-140 of its abrupt4xCO2 run) but with quadrupled CO2 concentration seen by the radiation code. Other atmospheric constituents and any other necessary boundary conditions (e.g. vegetation if required) taken from each model's own piControl simulation (using the 30 years of piControl that are parallel to years 111-140 of its abrupt4xCO2 run). Dynamic vegetation should be turned off and the vegetation distribution that is output from the piControl simulation used. Same as piSST-control but CO2 as seen by the radiation scheme is quadrupled.
