Simulations of HAPPI (Half a degree Additional warming, Prognosis and Projected Impacts) Tier-1 experiments based on the CAM4-2degree atmospheric model and on the CLM4-2degree land model of the National Center for Atmospheric Research - Department of Energy (NCAR-DOE)

Global HAPPI-MIP protocol data based on the CAM4[1]/CLM4 [2] (CAM4-2degree) AGCM developed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research – Department of Energy (NCAR-DOE). CAM4/CLM4 is part of the CESM 1.0.4 model release [3].

This CERA experiment includes data of 521 AMIP simulations within the period 1979-2016, 501 AMIP-like simulations of 2106-2116 representing a climate warmer by 1.5°C than under pre-industrial conditions (1861-1880) and 501 AMIP-like simulations of 2106-2116 representing a climate warmer by 2.0°C than under pre-industrial conditions (1861-1880).
