piClim-370-NAE126aer data produced by the NorESM2-LM model for the Regional Aerosol Model Intercomparison Project (RAMIP)
Abstract
This record contains data for the piClim-370-NAE126aer experiment simulations from the Regional Aerosol Model Intercomparison Project (RAMIP), produced using NorESM2-LM. 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-NAE126aer 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 North America and Europe 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. North America and Europe are the regions bounded by 20W, 45E, 35N, and 70N, and 150W, 45W, 25N 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
------------
NorESM2-LM: The Norwegian Earth System Model version 2 (NorESM2) is the second generation of the coupled Earth system model (ESM) developed by the Norwegian Climate Center.
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: |
Three coupled transient simulations were intiliased from the end of the three historical experiment performed for CMIP6, using emission files based on ScenarioMIP. For the remaining coupled transient simulations initial condition were generated by restarting the three historical simulations at 1950 with microperturbations and restarting from the end of these simulations. Fixed sea surface temperature (piClim) simulations are copies of the piClim-aer experiment performed for RFMIP (for CMIP6), but with RAMIP emissions for 2050. |
| 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.

| Title | NorESM2-LM |
| Abstract | The NorESM2-LM (low atmosphere-medium ocean resolution, GHG concentration driven) climate model, released in 2017, includes the following components: For CMIP6, the model was run by the NorESM Climate modeling Consortium consisting of CICERO (Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo 0349), MET-Norway (Norwegian Meteorological Institute, Oslo 0313), NERSC (Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center, Bergen 5006), NILU (Norwegian Institute for Air Research, Kjeller 2027), UiB (University of Bergen, Bergen 5007), UiO (University of Oslo, Oslo 0313) and UNI (Uni Research, Bergen 5008), Norway. Mailing address: NCC, c/o MET-Norway, Henrik Mohns plass 1, Oslo 0313, Norway (NCC) in native nominal resolutions: aerosol: 250 km, atmos: 250 km, atmosChem: 250 km, land: 250 km, landIce: 250 km, ocean: 100 km, ocnBgchem: 100 km, seaIce: 100 km. For RAMIP, the model was run by Stockholm University on the Swedish supercomputer. |
