Model Simulations

Experiment: xerkx

Famous 4.5.3 21k run on Quest. Land-sea mask is constructed from ice-5g. Orital forcing and ghg concentrations (CO2, CH4, and N2O) are set to 21.0k values (according to EPICA core). CFC 0, O3 has 3 prescribed modern (not pre-industrial) values are 12 ppbv for the troposphere, 120 ppbv for the tropopause and 900 ppbv for the stratosphere. Initialised from xduxf_noheat year 446.

FAMOUS_Heinrich Famous 4.5.3 ice5g topog. land-sea mask and ice-sheet. Box car Heinrich event 0.5 Sv followed by negative freshwater forcing ramp shape amplitude -0.25Sv, both 200 years long and added to 50 to 70 over whole N Atlantic. Orbitals for 84k. Increased atmospheric output for subsequent use with ORCHIDEE model and potentially p-TOMCAT. 500 30 470 185 355 245 0 0 quest-hpc Portland_v6.1-6 2011_11_24_16_07 2012_04_18_10_10
