piClim-370-AFR126aer data produced by the MRI-ESM2-0 model for the Regional Aerosol Model Intercomparison Project (RAMIP)
Abstract
This record contains data for the piClim-370-AFR126aer experiment simulations from the Regional Aerosol Model Intercomparison Project (RAMIP), produced using MRI-ESM2-0. It contains NetCDF output for a set of experiments with anthropogenic emissions for the year 2050 and fixed, pre-industrial, sea surface temperatures, sea ice extent, and land use. For a full description of the experiments, see: https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/16/4451/2023/.
The piClim-370-AFR126aer experiment is a fixed sea surface temperature (SST) experiment with 1850 SSTs and sea ice concentrations, following the RFMIP piClim experiment designs. Aerosol and precursor emissions (SO2, black carbon and organic carbon) over Africa and the Middle East are taken from year 2050 of SSP1-2.6, while all other anthropogenic emissions and land use are taken from SSP3-7.0 At least 30 years are requested. Africa and the Middle East is the region bounded by 20W, 60E, 35S, and 35N.
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/

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 |
| 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.
