Papers in preparation:

Simulation name(s): NRCP85BPRPEX_MPI_20100_LWF1

Compset name used: NRCP85BPRPEX

Model type: Fully coupled

Type of run: hybrid

Simulation period: 100 years (2100-2200)

Initialisation Start from NRCP85BPRPEX_MPI_20100_LWF1_2 climate engineered RCP95 in EXPECT project.

Resolution: f19_g16= 1.9×2.5 degree atmosphere/land. Dipolar ocean/ice grid, ~ 1 degree

Emission year(s): RCP8.5

Greenhouse gases: Interactive CO2

Emission inventories N/A

Frequency for output: Monthly and selected daily

Active/changing forcing agents: Greenhouse gases: Direct and indirect (1. & 2.) effects of SO4, POM and BC.

Special considerations: Created in same way as climate engineered volcanic forcing runs, but in this run, no volcanic forcing file is given

Tuning parameters which are changed relative to the host model NorESM-CMIP5-branch:

rhminl: 0.9005 lower RH threshold for formation of low stratiform clouds (0.91 in CAM4)
