1.5 Experiments: volcanic cluster experiment under 21st century SSP2-4.5 scenario (volc-cluster-21C)

Record Label : volc-cluster-21C

Record Title : volcanic cluster experiment under 21st century SSP2-4.5 scenario

Record identifier : f16fb64c-dd9e-11e6-b89b-ac72891c3257

Description : Parallel experiment to volc-cluster-ctrl but with initial conditions from the end of the historical simulation instead of from the piControl. The first eruption of the cluster begins in 2015. All external forcings, except volcanic forcing are from the 21st-century SSP2-4.5 scenario experiment of ScenarioMIP. At the end of the volcanic cluster, volcanic forcing input shall be kept constant at the same constant value prescribed for the piControl simulation for consistency with the SSP2-4.5 scenario experiment. At least one, preferably three ensemble members. 85 years for each ensemble member.
