The atmosphere-ocean general circulation model ECHAM3/LSG(T21) is used for climate change and climate variability studies. The models ECHAM3 and LSG are described in the DKRZ reports No.6 and No.2, respectively.
This climate investigation consists of a set of four solar variability experiments:
04001SOLC - Control run of 293 years starting at 1700
04002AERO - Aerosol plus CO2 effect integrated for 112 years starting at 1880
04003SOL2 - Second control run of 293 years starting at 1860
04004SCO2 - CO2 effect integrated for 112 years starting at 1880
The experiment 04001SOLC calculated the climate response to a varying solar forcing at the top of the atmosphere. The solar varibility used was reconstructed by Hoyt and Schatten (1993). The reconstruction started at 1700 and is available for 293 years. References are given in the publications to the experiments.
The experimental results are published in:
