Weak ENSO future experiment (2106-2115) representing a climate warmer by 1.5°C than under pre-industrial conditions (1861-1880) following the AMIP design described by Taylor et al. (2012) [1].
External forcing conditions are those used with the HAPPI-MIP ECHAM6.3 1.5°C experiment except for sea surface temperature (SST) and sea ice coverage (SIC). SST and SIC are taken from CMIP5 MPI-ESM-LR RCP2.6 (r3i1p1) results during 2090-2099. A weak ENSO variablility with low amplitude is modelled during this period. The SST corresponds to a warming of the global near surface temperature by 1.39°C as compared to pre-industrial conditions. Following SST and SIC are corrected by an offline sea ice model to avoid SSTs above the freezing point of salt water and SICs above 0% in one single grid cell.
The experiment includes 20 realizations contributed by the DKRZ (German Climate Computing Centre) with ECHAM6.3.
