Abstract
The Natural Forcing (Volcanic and Solar) simulation contained in this dataset copied the control run (HadCM3-ctrl) with the addition of natural forcing from volcanic and solar sources. This dataset is the original version of this experiment that incorrectly introduced the volcanic aerosol and solar radiation spectrum - a subsequent run (HadCM3-NFVScorr) corrected the error.
The Natural Forcing (Volcanic and Solar) simulation contained in this dataset copied the control run (HadCM3-ctrl) with the addition of natural forcing from volcanic and solar sources. This dataset is the original version of this experiment that incorrectly introduced the volcanic aerosol and solar radiation spectrum - a subsequent run (HadCM3-NFVScorr) corrected the error. The HadCM3 model was used by the Hadley Centre to provide input for the IPCC Third Assessment Report.
Data members run for this experiment: ['abicd', 'abice', 'abicf', 'abicg']
Boundary conditions: Essentially a repeat of the HadCM3 control run but including natural forcings from volcano and solar sources. The volcanic forcing data are taken from Sato et al. (1993) reconstruction of stratospheric volcanic aerosol optical depth at .55 microns. The solar forcing data was taken from the reconstruction of Lean et al. (1995).

Initial conditions: The model is initialised from the control run with a different year for each of the four ensemble elements.
[ABICD initialised with 1859 conditions from control]
[ABICE initialised with 1959 conditions from control]
[ABICF initialised with 2059 conditions from control]
[ABICG initialised with 2159 conditions from control]

| Title | Hadley Centre Hadley Centre Coupled Model Version 3 |
| Abstract | The Hadley Centre Hadley Centre Coupled Model Version 3 was developed from the earlier HadCM2 model in the period 1997-2000. Various improvements were applied to the 19 level atmosphere model and the 20 level ocean model and as a result the model requires no artificial flux adjustments to prevent excessive climate drift. The atmosphere and ocean exchange information once per day, heat and water fluxes being conserved exactly. The main differences from the previous HadCM2 model are a significantly more sophisticated radiation scheme; the inclusion of the direct impact of convection on momentum; and the inclusion of a new land surface scheme that includes a better representation of evaporation, freezing and melting of soil moisture. It improved on the resolution available from previous Hadley Centre models and included support for interactive couplings between the atmosphere and ocean and the biosphere, atmospheric chemistry, the sulphur cycle and atmospheric aerosols. The HadCM3 model was used by the Hadley Centre to provide input for the IPCC Third Assessment Report. |
