Global HAPPI-MIP protocol data based on the CanAM4 [1] AGCM developed by the Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis (CCCma). This CERA experiment includes data of 100 AMIP simulations of the period 2006-2015, 100 AMIP-like simulations of 2106-2115 representing a climate warmer by 1.5°C than under pre-industrial conditions (1861-1880) and 100 AMIP-like simulations of 2106-2115 representing a climate warmer by 2.0°C than under pre-industrial conditions (1861-1880).

'amip4K' is an experiment of the CMIP5 - Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 ( https://pcmdi.llnl.gov/mips/cmip5 ). CMIP5 is meant to provide a framework for coordinated climate change experiments for the next five years and thus includes simulations for assessment in the AR5 as well as others that extend beyond the AR5. 6.8 amip4K (6.8 AMIP plus 4K anomaly) - Version 1: Consistent with CFMIP requirements, add a uniform +4 K SST to the AMIP SSTs of expt. 3.3 (which is the "control" for this run).
