Abstract
This record contains data for the SSP370-EAS126aer experiment simulations from the Regional Aerosol Model Intercomparison Project (RAMIP), produced using MRI-ESM2-0. 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-EAS126aer coupled transient experiment runs from January 2015 to at least February 2051. Aerosol and precursor emissions (sulphur dioxide, black carbon and organic carbon) over East Asia are taken from SSP1-2.6, while all other anthropogenic emissions and land use follow SSP3-7.0. East Asia is the region bounded by 95 and 133E and 20 and 53N.
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/

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.

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.
