1.5 Experiments: Assimilation run paralleling the historical simulation, which may be used to generate hindcast initial conditions (dcppA-assim)

Record Label : dcppA-assim

Record Title : Assimilation run paralleling the historical simulation, which may be used to generate hindcast initial conditions

Record identifier : f16dbe96-dd9e-11e6-b89b-ac72891c3257

Description : Ensemble of 'assimilation' run(s) (if available). These are simulations used to incorporate observation-based data into the model in order to generate initial conditions for hindcasts. They parallel the historical simulations and use the same forcing. The number of years (60-600) depends on the number of independent assimilation runs.
