Abstract

UK Earth System Model 1.1 simulations for the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project V0
The dataset contains commonly-used variables for SSP2-4.5 (2 versions), and G6-1.5K-SAI, G6-1.5K-MCB, and G6-1.5K-HiLLA.
The G6-1.5K simulations use SSP2-4.5 as the background greenhouse gas emission scenario and maintain global mean temperature at ~1.5K, defined as the mean temperature in 2020-39 via different cooling methods.
G6-1.5K-SAI (Stratospheric Aerosol Injection) emits sulphur dioxide at 30 degrees North and South at 22km.
G6-1.5K-MCB (Marine Cloud Brightening) emits sea salt aerosols at the lowest atmospheric layer in five midlatitude regions.
G6-1.5K-HiLLA (High Latitude Low Altitude) emits sulphur dioxide at 60 degrees North and South at 15km in the spring of each hemisphere.
SAI and HiLLA use the SSP2-4.5 version with heterogeneous chemistry on injected stratospheric aerosols, and MCB uses the SSP2-4.5 version without.

Data lineage:

This is the CMIP6 generation version of the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Tier 1 experiments as described in 'The Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) contribution to CMIP7 – description of new experimental protocols and preliminary results' by Visioni et al. (2026) https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-2026-2417.
The simulations were run on the Met Office HPC, CMORised using CDDS, and uploaded to CEDA.
