SSP370-NAE126aer data produced by the MIROC6 model for the Regional Aerosol Model Intercomparison Project (RAMIP)
Abstract
This record contains data for the SSP370-NAE126aer experiment simulations from the Regional Aerosol Model Intercomparison Project (RAMIP), produced using MIROC6. It contains NetCDF output from coupled transient simulations with global aerosol reductions. For a full description of the experiments, see: https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/16/4451/2023/.
The SSP370-NAE126aer coupled transient experiment runs from January 2015 to at least February 2051. Aerosol and precursor emissions (SO2, black carbon and organic carbon) over North America and Europe are taken from SSP1-2.6, while all other anthropogenic emissions and land use follow SSP3-7.0. North America and Europe are the regions bounded by 150W, 45W, 25N and 70N, and 20W, 45E, 35N, and 70N.
The simulations are initialised from the CMIP6 historical experiment. Anthropogenic emissions designed for the ScenarioMIP experiments SSP3-7.0 and SSP1-2.6 are used. All experiments follow SSP3-7.0, with perturbations to regional aerosol and precursor emissions using SSP1-2.6 emissions, following the RAMIP protocol. Data are provided for a subset of CMIP6 variables, following their CMIP6 definitions. Some 3D variables are produced at reduced vertical resolution compared to CMIP6. These are identified with new variable names, as set out in the RAMIP data request: https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/16/4451/2023/
Acronyms
------------
MIROC6: The sixth version of the Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate (MIROC), called MIROC6, was cooperatively developed by a Japanese modeling community.
SSP1-2.6: experiment based on Shared Socioeconomic Pathway SSP1 with low climate change mitigation and adaptation challenges and RCP2.6, a future pathway with a radiative forcing of 2.6 W/m2 in the year 2100.
SSP3-7.0: experiment based on Shared Socioeconomic Pathway SSP3 which is characterised by high challenges to both mitigation and adaptation and RCP7.0, a future pathway with a radiative forcing of 7.0 W/m2 in the year 2100.
ScenarioMIP: the Scenario Model Intercomparison Project simulates climate outcomes based on alternative plausible future scenarios.
CMIP6: is the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, a global collaboration of climate modellers.

The coupled transient simulations are initialised from the CMIP6 historical experiment. Anthropogenic emissions designed for the ScenarioMIP experiments SSP3-7.0 and SSP1-2.6 are used. All experiments follow SSP3-7.0, with perturbations to regional aerosol and precursor emissions using SSP1-2.6 emissions, following the RAMIP protocol.

These are identified with new variable names, as set out in the RAMIP data request: https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/16/4451/2023/ Fixed sea surface temperature (piClim) simulations are copies of the piClim-aer experiment performed for RFMIP (for CMIP6), but with RAMIP emissions for 2050. The data were post-processed after CMORization to follow CMIP6Plus naming conventions. |
| Data Quality: |
Quality control checks (CEDA-CC and CF compliance) were performed by the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) to ensure that the data meets the RAMIP and CMIP6Plus metadata requirements.

Process overview
| Title | MIROC6 |
| Abstract | The MIROC6 climate model, released in 2017, includes the following components: For CMIP6, the model was run by the JAMSTEC (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, Kanagawa 236-0001, Japan), AORI (Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, The University of Tokyo, Chiba 277-8564, Japan), NIES (National Institute for Environmental Studies, Ibaraki 305-8506, Japan), and R-CCS (RIKEN Center for Computational Science, Hyogo 650-0047, Japan) (MIROC) in native nominal resolutions: aerosol: 250 km, atmos: 250 km, land: 250 km, ocean: 100 km, seaIce: 100 km. For RAMIP, the model was run by JAMSTEC. |
