1.5 Experiments: prescribed land conditions (from current climate climatology) and initialized from "historical" run year 1980 (lfmip-pdLC)

Record Label : lfmip-pdLC

Record Title : prescribed land conditions (from current climate climatology) and initialized from "historical" run year 1980

Record identifier : f16eb9c2-dd9e-11e6-b89b-ac72891c3257

Description : Scenario forced experiment with prescribed land surface climatology derived from "present climate" conditions (1980-2014). The experiment is comprised of transient coupled atmosphere-ocean simulations in which a selection of land surface characteristics is prescribed rather than interactively calculated in the model. The "climatological" land surface forcing is calculated as the mean annual cycle in the period 1980-2014 from the historical GCM simulations. Additional ensemble members are requested with tier 2 priority.
