Summary
This run (run1, experiment ID a42) is one member of a five-member ensemble simulation (run1 to run5) of the IPCC AR4 "climate of the 20th Century experiment (20C3M)" with the coupled climate model ECHO-G. Initial data for the 20C3M simulations (ID = a42-a46; period = 1860-2000) were obtained by spinning up ECHO-G for six years with ocean restart files from simulation years=199/299/399 of a preindustrial simulation performed at the Freie Universitaet Berlin (FUB) and from simulation years=199/299 of the first ensemble member respectively. The preindustrial runs were initialized with the Levitus climatology. Anthropogenic GHGs (ENSEMBLE project), sulfate aerosol direct and first indirect effects, and natural forcing (solar irradiance and volcanic activity implemented through varying solar constant following Crowley, 2000) are used for the 20C3M simulations. This member was run on a NEC SX-6 machine at DKRZ.
