1.5 Experiments: forced atmosphere experiment for 1950-2014 (highresSST-present)

Record Label : highresSST-present

Record Title : forced atmosphere experiment for 1950-2014

Record identifier : f16e618e-dd9e-11e6-b89b-ac72891c3257

Description : Historical atmosphere-only simulations of the near past (1950-2014). HadISST2.2 sea surface temperature and sea ice concentrations at daily 1/4 degree resolution to be used (Kennedy et al. 2017, in prep). For optimal comparison between models the use of plume aerosol cocentrations are recommended (rather than emissions). At least one ensemble member at high resolution, minimum 25-50 km at mid-latitudes. At least one ensemble member at standard model resolution as used in the DECK and historical simulations. Initial conditions from either the ERA-20C reanalysis (and then some intial spinup), or a suitably spun-up atmosphere-land initial condition reflecting 1950's conditions.
