Simulation name(s): N20TRAERCN_f19_g16_0X), where X = ensemble member, where X = 1,2,3 for this set-up
Compset name used: N20TRAERCN
Model type: Fully coupled
Type of run: Hybrid
Simulation period: 156 years
Initialisation Start from CMIP5 control simulation. Ensemble member 1: NAER1850CNOC_f19_g16_05, year 700. 2: NAER1850CNOC_f19_g16_06, year 730, 3: NAER1850CNOC_f19_g16_06, year 760
Resolution: f19_g16= 1.9×2.5 degree atmosphere/land. Dipolar ocean/ice grid, ~ 1 degree
Emission year(s): 1850-2005 (aerosol and aerosol-precursors)
Greenhouse gases: Prescribed concentrations 1850-2005
Emission inventories IPCC AR5, see references in Kirkevåg et al. (2013)
Frequency for output: Monthly and selected daily 1850-1949: Monthly + daily + 6h +3h as defined by CMIP5: 1950-2005
Active/changing forcing agents: Greenhouse gases: Direct and indirect (1. & 2.) effects of SO4, POM and BC.
Special considerations: An extension of the historical simulation to 2012 is done by using RCP8.5 scenario; There is a bug in the column burden for aerosols. The column burden has to be recalculated using concentrations. This was corrected before the RCP scenarios (revision 118); The CMIP 5 files for these simulations can be found at /projects/NS9034K/CMIP5/output1/NCC/NorESM1-M/historical.
Tuning parameters which are changed relative to the host model CAM4:
rhminl: 0.90 lower RH threshold for formation of low stratiform clouds (0.91 in CAM4)
critrp: 5.0 mm/day maximum prcipitation rate for suppression of autoconversion of cloud water (0.5 mm/day in CAM4)
r3lc: 14 um critical mean droplet volume radius for onset of autoconversion (10 um in CAM4)
