1.5 Experiments: pre-industrial control (piControl)

Record Label : piControl

Record Title : pre-industrial control

Record identifier : f16fb9da-dd9e-11e6-b89b-ac72891c3257

Description : A pre-industrial control simulation with non-evolving pre-industrial conditions. Conditions chosen to be representative of the period prior to the onset of large-scale industrialization, with 1850 being the reference year. The piControl starts after an initial climate spin-up, during which the climate begins to come into balance with the forcing. The recommended minimum length for the piControl is 500 years.
