Tier 1 Experiments

• Land-Hist: 1901-2014 land-only run, at the native resolution of the land model in the CMIP6 coupled runs, using GSWP3 forcing:
  • These forcing data are currently available here and will soon be published in input4MIPs.

• LFMIP-rmLC + SST: 1980-2100 simulation in land-atmosphere configuration:
  • SST and sea ice from the first ensemble member of the historical and the ssp126 and ssp585 scenario runs of the corresponding coupled model;
  • Soil humidity prescribed as 30-year monthly running means taken from these runs.
  • The reference simulations for this run are the historical and the ssp126 and ssp585 scenario runs.
  • Only one ensemble member is Tier 1. Additional ensemble members (suggested: 4 additional runs) are Tier 2.
  • ssp126 runs are to be tagged rXiXpXf1; ssp585 runs are rXiXpXf2.

• LFMIP-pdLC + SST: 1980-2100 simulation in land-atmosphere configuration:
  • SST and sea ice from the first ensemble member of the historical and the ssp126 and ssp585 scenario runs of the corresponding coupled model;
  • Soil humidity prescribed as the 1980-2014 climatological monthly mean of the first ensemble member of the historical run.
  • The reference simulations for this run are the historical and ssp126 and ssp585 scenario runs.
  • Only one ensemble member is Tier 1. Additional ensemble members (suggested: 4 additional runs) are Tier 2.
  • ssp126 runs are to be tagged rXiXpXf1; ssp585 runs are rXiXpXf2.
