Exp 3.1
Experiment | Short Name | Exp Nb | Tier | Nb of year | Short description |
pre-industrial control (1800-) | piControl | 3.1 | core | > 500 | Coupled atmosphere/ocean pre-industrial control run. Prescribed atmospheric concentrations of (i) all well-mixed gases (including CO2) (ii) some short-lived (reactive) species. Prescribed non-evolving emissions or concentrations of (i) natural aerosols or their precursors (ii) some short-lived (reactive) species. Unperturbed land use. |
Exp 3.2
Experiment | Short Name | Exp Nb | Tier | Nb of year | Short description |
historical (1850-2005) | historical | 3.2 | core | 156 | simulation of recent past (1850-2005) Impose changing conditions (consistent with observations), which may include: (i) atmospheric composition (including CO2), due to both anthropogenic and volcanic influences (ii) solar forcing (iii) emissions or concentrations of short-lived species and natural and anthropogenic aerosols or their precursors (iv) land use |
