GFDL experiment name: c48L48_am3p9_H3_1979-2008_S3 GFDL parent experiment name: CM3Z_D1_1860-2005_AllForc_H3 CMIP5 experiment ID: amip Initial conditions from this experiment (CMIP5 expt. 3.3-E(b) Tier 1) were taken from 01Jan1979 of the historical coupled experiment CM3Z_D1_1860-2005_AllForc_H3. Forcing agents (7 WMGGs, tropospheric and stratospheric ozone, land use, volcanoes, solar, sulfate, black carbon, organic carbon, dust, and sea salt) vary historically from 1979-2008 following prescribed emission or concentration timeseries or internally calculated emissions. This model includes direct and indirect aerosol effects.
