GFDL experiment name: CM3Z_Control-1860_D1 GFDL parent experiment name: N/A CMIP5 experiment ID: piControl Initial conditions from this experiment (CMIP5 expt. 3.1) were taken from 01Jan0281 of the 1860 control model spin-up experiment CM3Y_Control-1860_I7_TIM_RCP2. Spin up for this experiment included experiments CM3Y_Control-1860_I2 (0001-0300, dynamic potential vegetation), CM3Y_I6_1700-1860_LandUse (1701-1859, dynamic vegetation, historical land use), CM3Y_Control-1860_I7_TIM (0001-0100, static 1859 vegetation, TIM solar irradiance), CM3Y_Control-1860_I7_TIM_RCP (0101-0200), and CM3Y_Control-1860_I7_TIM_RCP2 (0201-0280). This model includes direct and indirect aerosol effects.
