CCSM4 Simulations

CCSM4 Large Ensemble

This is a 30 member ensemble of simulations using CCSM4 under historical forcings from 1970 to 2005.
Simulation names: b40.20th.005_ens{01-30}
Machine: NCAR bluefire
Compset: B_1850-2000_CN
Resolution: 0.9x1.25_gx1v6 (CESM nominal 1^o grid)
Data Availability: Selected monthly atmospheric, ice, land and ocean variables.
Data Location: Climate Data Gateway

CAM4 AMIP TOGA Ensemble

This is a 5 member ensemble of AMIP TOGA from 1900-2011. 5-member TOGA ensemble forced by tropical (28°S-28°N) observed time-varying SSTs. Climatological seasonal cycle of SSTs and sea ice used polewards of 35°, with linear interpolation between 28° and 35°. No IPCC forcings.
Simulation names: f.e10.F2000CN.f09_f09.vamip.toga.ens0{1-5}
Machine: NCAR bluefire
Compset: F2000CN
Resolution: 0.9x1.25_gx1v6 (CESM nominal 1^o grid)
Data Availability: Selected monthly atmospheric and land variables.
Data Location: On NCAR/CISL systems: /glade/campaign/cgd/cas/asphilli/f.e10.F2000CN.f09_f09.vamip.toga

CAM4 AMIP GOGA Ensemble

This is a 5 member ensemble of AMIP GOGA from 1900-2011. 5-member GOGA ensemble forced by observed time-varying SSTs. No IPCC forcings.
Simulation names: f.e10.F2000CN.f09_f09.vamip.ens0{1-5}
Machine: NCAR bluefire
Compset: F2000CN
Resolution: 0.9x1.25_gx1v6 (CESM nominal 1^o grid)
Data Availability: Selected monthly/daily atmospheric variables and monthly land variables.
Data Location: On NCAR/CISL systems: /glade/campaign/cgd/cas/asphilli/f.e10.F2000CN.f09_f09.vamip
