Abstract

The World Climate Research Program (WCRP) Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, Phase 6 (CMIP6) data from the the E3SM-Project team E3SM-1-1-ECA model output for the "biogeochemically-coupled version of the simulation of the recent past with CO2 concentration prescribed" (hist-bgc) experiment. These are available at the following frequencies: Amon, Lmon and fx. The runs included the ensemble member: r1i1p1f1.

CMIP6 was a global climate model intercomparison project, coordinated by PCMDI (Program For Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison) on behalf of the WCRP and provided input for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 6th Assessment Report (AR6).

The official CMIP6 Citation, and its associated DOI, is provided as an online resource linked to this record.

The the E3SM-Project team team consisted of the following agencies: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (NCAR LLNL), Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL).
