[ Derived from parent entry - See data hierarchy tab ] Strong ENSO experiment (2006-2015) following the AMIP design described by Taylor et al. (2012) [1]. External forcing conditions are those used with the HAPPI-MIP ECHAM6.3 current decade experiment except for sea surface temperature (SST) and sea ice coverage (SIC). SST is calculated by decreasing the SST used in the strong ENSO future experiment of this CERA experiment by the difference between the climatological monthly mean results of CMIP5 MPI-ESM-LR during 2090-2099 in RCP2.6 (r2i1p1) and during 1995-2004 in historical (r2i1p1). The SST corresponds to a warming of the global near surface temperature by 0.68°C as compared to the period 2090-2099 in RCP2.6 (r2i1p1). SIC is calculated analogously. Following SST and SIC are corrected by an offline sea ice model to avoid SSTs above the freezing point of salt water and SICs above 0% in one single grid cell.
The experiment includes 20 realizations contributed by the DKRZ (German Climate Computing Centre) with ECHAM6.3.
