Dataset
Climate of the last millenium UV solar model experiments
Abstract
This dataset contains UV solar model experiment data using the Hadley Centre Global Environmental Model version 3 at the Global Coupled model 2.0 (HadGEM3 GC2) configuration (Williams et al 2015). The model was used as part of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Climate of the LAst Millennium (CLAM): An Integrated Data-Model Approach to Reconstruct and Interpret Annual Variability in North Atlantic Circulation project (NE/N001176/1).
The model performs step changes in the UV forcing and integrate for 50 years to identify multi-decadal changes due to solar radiation adjustment. The simulations are 0.25 degree ocean resolution (eddy-permitting) and so ocean dynamics and ocean-atmosphere coupling are more realistic than in models used in previous work evaluating the effect of UV forcing. Each simulation has an equivalent control simulation, and an experiment with a total solar irradiance change in addition to the UV forcing experiments.

Process overview
| Title | HadGEM3 GC2 |
| Abstract | The Hadley Centre Global Environmental Model version 3 at the Global Coupled model 2.0 (HadGEM3 GC2) configuration (Williams et al 2015). HadGEM3 GC2 has atmospheric resolution of 0.83° longitude by 0.55° latitude (about 60km at mid-latitudes), with 85 atmospheric levels, and an ocean resolution is 0.25° with 75 quasi-horizontal levels. The simulations are all prescibed with preindustrial CO2 and a 1850 climatological estimate of ozone. Each set is from the same initial conditions (ocean and ice initial conditions from the HadGEM3 GC2 simulation anude, year specified below) |
