1.5 Experiments: predictability of 1990s warming of Atlantic sub-polar gyre (dcppC-atl-spg)

Record Label : dcppC-atl-spg

Record Title : predictability of 1990s warming of Atlantic sub-polar gyre

Record identifier : f16df5d2-dd9e-11e6-b89b-ac72891c3257

Description : Repeat DCCP-A1 hindcasts with altered initial conditions. Initialise with climatology (1960-2009 average) in the north Atlantic "sub-polar ocean" (95W-30E, 45N-90N). Linear transition between climatology and actual observations over a 10 deg buffer zone (35N-45N). 10 ensemble members. Run each member for at least 5 years, preferably 10 years. Start dates end of 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996. Additional start dates at end of 1992, 1997, 1998, 1999.
