Control Simulation

The IFS-FESOM control simulation covers 10 years (1990-1999) and serves to assess whether the coupled system starts close to radiative equilibrium and to characterise any model drift present from the initialization. Both the atmosphere and ocean use a horizontal grid resolution of 5 km (NG5 mesh for FESOM).

The simulation was conducted on LUMI and its output is served from the LUMI data bridge, as indicated in the table. See Data Structure and Keys for the full simulation-to-bridge mapping.

Forcing data

In this control simulation all external radiative forcings, including greenhouse gases, ozone, and aerosol concentrations, are kept constant at year 1990 levels.
