Pre_Ind_Coupled
This is a new pre-Industrial coupled simulation using the same model setup as tcofb (Pliocene) but for pre-industrial boundary conditions. This should technically be the same as xakxa and xbmec and xbmsc and xbooc and tbpse. Started from end of tbpse. This is run on the Quest. It uses the new standard HadCM3 MOSES-1 setup, so may be warmer than previous runs, and more similar to xakxa.
