1.5 Experiments: pre-industrial control (spin-up) (piControl-spinup)

Record Label : piControl-spinup

Record Title : pre-industrial control (spin-up)

Record identifier : f16fd3b6-dd9e-11e6-b89b-ac72891c3257

Description : A pre-industrial control spin-up simulation with non-evolving pre-industrial forcing. Forcing conditions are chosen to be representative of the period prior to the onset of large-scale industrialization, with 1850 being the reference year. This experiment describes an initial climate spin-up, during which the climate begins to come into balance with the forcing. Run until at least the surface climate reaches equilibrium.
