.. _happi_data.rst: HAPPI and HappiEVA data ======================= Experiments for 1.5 and 2.0 degree warming ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ AMIP-style HAPPI experiments ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A set of AMIP-style large ensemble experiments (125 members) were carried out with NorESM1-Happi (Graff et al., 2019) for three climate states: * the present-day climate (the All-Hist experiment), * a climate that is 1.5 degrees warmer than pre-industrial conditions (the Plus15-Future experiment), and * a climate that is 2.0 degrees warmer than the pre-industrial (the Plus20-Future experiments) as a part of the HAPPI initiative (Half A degree additional warming, Prognosis and Projected Impacts; https://www.happimip.org; Mitchell et al., 2017). **CMOR-ized data for NorESM1-Happi and the other participating models can be retrieved from** https://portal.nersc.gov/c20c/data.html **Raw model output for NorESM1-Happi can be retrived from the NIRD research data archive:** * https://doi.org/10.11582/2019.00006 (All-Hist) * https://doi.org/10.11582/2019.00002 (Plus15-Future) * https://doi.org/10.11582/2019.00003 (Plus20-Future) Fully-coupled experiments +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Fully-coupled experiments targeting * 1.5 degree warming (relative to pre-industrial conditions) and * 2.0 degree warming were conducted with NorESM1-Happi. See Graff et al. (2019) for details. **The data (raw model output) can be retrieved from the NIRD research data archive:** https://doi.org/10.11582/2020.00021 Slab-ocean experiments ++++++++++++++++++++++ Slab-ocean experiments were conducted for * a present-day climate that is as similar to that in the NorESM1-Happi All-Hist experiment as possible * a 1.5 degree warmer climate (relative to the pre-industrial) that is as similar to that in the NorESM1-Happi Plus15-Future experiment as possible * a 2.0 degree warmer climate (relative to the pre-industrial) that is as similar to that in the NorESM1-Happi Plus20-Future experimet as possible **The data (raw model output) can be retrieved from the NIRD research data archive:** https://doi.org/10.11582/2020.00013 CMIP5 DECK and scenario experiments with NorESM1-Happi ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A set of fully-coupled DECK experiments and scenario experiments were carried out with NorESM1-Happi (Graff et al., 2019) to enable an extensive validation of the model in line with the CMIP5 protocol (note that these experiments are not a part of the official CMIP5 data set): * a pre-industrial control simulation (the **piControl** experiment) * three historical members for the time period 1850-2005 (the **Hist1**, **Hist2**, and **Hist3** experiments) * Hist1 with external forcings as in 1850, but with with varying (historical) * greenhouse gases * aerosols and aerosol precursor emissions * natural solar radiation and vulcanos * RCP scenario experiments in which the radiative forcing at the end of the 21st century corresponds to * 2.6 W/m\ :sup:`2`\ * 4.5 W/m\ :sup:`2`\ * 8.5 W/m\ :sup:`2`\ * experiments in forcings are as in the pre-industrial climate except the CO\ :sub:`2`\ concentrations which are * instantly quadroupled at the beginning of the experiment (the **abrupt-4xCO**\ :sub:`2`\ experiment) * increased by 1% per year untill quadroupling and then held constant (the **gradual-4xCO**\ :sub:`2`\ experiment) **The data (raw model output) can be retrieved from the NIRD research data archive:** https://doi.org/10.11582/2020.00021 In addition, a set of slab-ocean experiments were conducted to assess the climate sensitivity of NorESM1-Happi under the slab-ocean configuration (for details, see Graff et al., 2019). These include * a pre-industrial (1850) control simulation * a 2xCO\ :sub:`2`\ experiment * a 4xCO\ :sub:`2`\ experiment **Data from the slab-ocean experiments can be retrieved from the NIRD research data archive:** https://doi.org/10.11582/2020.00014 References ^^^^^^^^^^^ Graff, L.
