The consortial project ESCiMo targets on coupled chemistry-climate-simulations using version 2.51 of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts – Hamburg (ECHAM)/Modular Earth Submodel System
This experiment comprises 4 different simulations:
- hind-cast simulations, free-running
- SSTs/SICs: global data set HadISST provided by the UK Met Office Hadley Centre
- model data output mostly
This experiment comprises 3 different simulations:
- future simulations scenario RCP6.0
- model data output mostly as 10-hourly global snapshots, monthly averages or as monthly accumulated variables,
This experiment comprises 5 different simulations:
- hind-cast simulations with specified dynamics from 1979 to 2013
- ERA-Interim SSTs/SICs
