Abstract
The AFHa forcings simulation contained in this dataset includes time varying forcing from historical concentrations of major and minor greenhouse gases from 1859 to 2100. After 1990 the forcing follows the IPCC IS92a emissions scenario.
This is an "all-forcings" experiment designed to investigate the sensitivity of HadCM3 to various forcings, in this case the forcings are limited to anthropogenic green house gases. It is a partner experiment to HadCM3-AFHb which includes a wider range of anthropogenic forcings. The HadCM3 model was used by the Hadley Centre to provide input for the IPCC Third Assessment Report.
Data members run for this experiment: aaxze
Boundary conditions: All anthropogenic forcing from multiple species of greenhouse gases including various minor species specified to represent the IPCC IS92a emissions scenario.
Initial conditions: Initialised from year 100 of the HadCM3 control run. (i.e. 2091)
More detailed metadata on the model configuration and parameters is available in XML format.

| Title | Hadley Centre Hadley Centre Coupled Model Version 3 |
| Abstract | The Hadley Centre Hadley Centre Coupled Model Version 3 was developed from the earlier HadCM2 model in the period 1997-2000. Various improvements were applied to the 19 level atmosphere model and the 20 level ocean model and as a result the model requires no artificial flux adjustments to prevent excessive climate drift. The atmosphere and ocean exchange information once per day, heat and water fluxes being conserved exactly. The main differences from the previous HadCM2 model are a significantly more sophisticated radiation scheme; the inclusion of the direct impact of convection on momentum; and the inclusion of a new land surface scheme that includes a better representation of evaporation, freezing and melting of soil moisture. It improved on the resolution available from previous Hadley Centre models and included support for interactive couplings between the atmosphere and ocean and the biosphere, atmospheric chemistry, the sulphur cycle and atmospheric aerosols. The HadCM3 model was used by the Hadley Centre to provide input for the IPCC Third Assessment Report. |
