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).

Forcing data

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