HighRes_highLat_SO FESOM1.4-REcoM2 model simulations to project future change in the coupled physical-biogeochemical system at high Southern Ocean latitudes

Experiment
Summary
This experiment includes all datasets obtained with the global ocean-sea ice-biogeochemistry model FESOM1.4-REcoM2. Model simulations include a representation of ice-shelf cavities and are eddy-permitting on Antarctic continental shelves. The ocean-only model simulations were forced at the ocean surface with 3-hourly atmospheric output from the AWI Climate Model. The project includes model experiments under four “Shared Socioeconomic Pathways” emission scenarios and sensitivity experiments facilitating the separation of natural and anthropogenic components of the oceanic carbon cycle. While the model simulations were started in 1950, the period 1950-1979 is considered spin-up and not provided here.
Computing resources were provided by the North-German Supercomputing Alliance (HLRN) project hbk00079, and the work has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 820989 (project COMFORT; https://comfort.w.uib.no/). COMFORT aims to assess tipping points in the coupled cycles of carbon, oxygen, and nutrients in the ocean for determining and achieving safe operating spaces.

The naming of the datasets follows the template
HighRes_highLat_SO FESOM1.4-REcoM2 experimentName experimentTime AtmCO2 climate

- "experimentName" is one of simA, simB, simC, simD (depending on whether atmospheric carbon and climate variables are constant or variable, see below)
- "experimentTime" is one of historical, SSP126, SSP245, SSP370, SSP585, 1980_2100. As archived here, historical represents the years 1980-2014, and all SSP scenarios represent the years 2015-2100.
- "AtmCO2" is one of variableAtmCO2, constantAtmCO2 (depending on whether atmospheric CO2 concentrations are kept constant at 1950-levels or varying throughout the simulation)
- "climate" is one of variableClimate, constantClimate (depending on whether all atmospheric forcing variables except CO2 are kept constant at 1955-levels or varying throughout the simulation)
