esmFixClim is an experiment of the CMIP5 - Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 ( https://pcmdi.llnl.gov/mips/cmip5 ). CMIP5 is meant to provide a framework for coordinated climate change experiments for the next five years and thus includes simulations for assessment in the AR5 as well as others that extend beyond the AR5.
5.4-1 esmFixClim (5.4-1 ESM fixed climate 1) - Version 1: Radiation code sees piControl CO2 concentration, but carbon cycle sees 1% per year rise.

Description
In addition to CMORs automated quality checks we performed manually checks on a data sample for each output variable. These comprise:
-visual inspection using ncview
-check whether min/max values are in physical range and consistent with variable units
-direction of flux variables and positive attribute
-consistency of data with vertical axis definition (i.e. whether data is flipped)
-land/ocean/sea ice masking
-rotation of vector data

Please multiply with 44/29 to obtain the total atmospheric CO2 mass in kg, or divide by 5.1125e+18 to obtain the global mean CO2 concentration in ppmv.
