GloSAT model experiments : UKESM1-1-LL simulations covering the period 1750-2014
Abstract
The Global Surface Air Temperature (GloSAT) model simulations were run on UK supercomputing platforms ARCHER2 and MONSooN using the UKESM1-1-LL UK Earth System Model described in Mulcahy, et al 2023 (https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-16-1569-2023).
The simulations were run under the NERC funded project GloSAT. NE/S015647/2
The experiments and model set up are all described in:
Ballinger, A., Schurer, A., Hegerl, G., Dittus, A., Hawkins, E., Cornes, R., Kent, E., Marshall, L., Morice, C., Osborn, T., and Rayner, N.A. Rumbold, S.:(2025) Importance of beginning industrial-era climate simulations in the eighteenth century, Environmental Research Letters, 650, accepted.
3 experiments were run:
6 ensembles with all forcings 1750-2014, described as historical1750
4 ensembles with anthropogenic only forcing, 1750-1910, described as historicalANT1750
1 preindustrial control simulation run using 1750 constant forcing described as piControl1750
The 4 variables which have been archived here in netcdf format were those used in the Ballinger et al. 2025 publication:
tas - surface air temperature
thetao - ocean temperature
AMOC - Atlantic meridional streamflow
SurfaceTypes - vegetation types

Public data: access to these data is available to both registered and non-registered users.
Use of these data is covered by the following licence(s): http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/ When using these data you must cite them correctly using the citation given on the CEDA Data Catalogue record. |
| Data lineage: |
This work used the ARCHER2 UK National Supercomputing Service, and Monsoon2, a collaborative High-Performance Computing facility funded by the Met Office and the Natural Environment Research Council, and JASMIN, the UK collaborative data analysis facility. UKESM1.1 simulations were performed on the HPC by Dr A. Schurer with data processed on JASMIN by Dr A Ballinger and Dr A Schurer. Data were then uploaded to the CEDA archive. |
| Data Quality: |
Model simulations were double-check by co-authors during the simulation process.
