ECHO-G transient(1500-1990) simulation with a new albedo scheme: atmosphere 12 HOUR raw data

Benkel, Andreas

Experiment
Summary

Target period: 1500 to 1990 AD.
Spin down: 50 years
Initial conditions: Restart files from the so-called "Erik-the-Red" run with ECHO-G
(EH4T30L19_HOPE-GL20_ETR) in 1450
external forcing 1451-1990: Estimated forcing values according to Crowley (2000), similar to
EH4T30L19_HOPE-GL20_ETR
Simulation is similar to the transient simulation EH4T30L19_HOPE-GL20_ETR,
but with differnet albedo scheme - mainly different with a different description of the
surface-temperature depending snow albedo over non-forested areas, according to the
Roesch (2000) snow-albedo scheme. The sea-ice albedo scheme is replaced by another sea-ice
albedo scheme, which is still surface temperature depending but takes into account the
effect of melt ponds. For information about the new snow and sea ice albedo scheme refer
to Koeltzow et al. (2003) and Koeltzow (2007). The new scheme is applied to the northern hemisphere explitly.
Datasets with monthly average values are also available.
Technical data to this experiment: The experiment is using ECHO-g: ECHAM4 (f90) + HOPE-g
and was run on a NEC-SX (hurrikan)
