GFDL experiment name: CM3Z_H1_2006-2100_RCP85_Z1 GFDL parent experiment name: CM3Z_D1_1860-2005_AllForc_H1 CMIP5 experiment ID: rcp85 Initial conditions from this experiment(CMIP5 expt. 4.2 (Core)) were taken from 01Jan2006 of the historical model experiment CM3Z_D1_1860-2005_AllForc_H1. Uses time-varying forcings from 1/1/2006 through 2100, including: 1) volcanic aerosols turned off 2) RCP land use data file 3) using updated RCP emission files (v1_21_12_2009) 4) solar flux dataset extends through 2300 This model includes direct and indirect aerosol effects.
