SSP370-126aer data produced by the EC-Earth3-AerChem model for the Regional Aerosol Model Intercomparison Project (RAMIP)
Abstract
This record contains data for the SSP370-126aer experiment simulations from the Regional Aerosol Model Intercomparison Project (RAMIP), produced using EC-Earth3-AerChem. It contains NetCDF output from coupled transient simulations. For a full description of the experiments, see: https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/16/4451/2023/.
The SSP370-126aer coupled transient experiment runs from 2015 to 2051. Global aerosol and precursor emissions (sulphur dioxide, black carbon and organic carbon) are taken from SSP1-2.6, while all other anthropogenic emissions and land use follow SSP3-7.0.
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
------------
EC-Earth3-AerChem: a global climate and Earth system model developed by a European consortium of meteorological services, research institutes, and high-performance computing centers.
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.

| Data lineage: |
For EC-Earth coupled transient simulations, restart files for the EC-Earth-AerChem CMIP6 historical experiment (member r3i1p1f1) from a point 15 years before then end of the experiment are the starting point. Small random perturbations, of the order of machine precision, were applied to these files 10 times. Each of these perturbed restart file sets was used to run the model to the end of the CMIP6 historical period. Each of the 10 sets of restart files at the end of the historical period obtained in this way forms the starting point for one ensemble member of each RAMIP transient coupled experiment. |
| 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.
