2 Multi-century ensemble global warming projections using the Community Climate System Model (CCSM3)

ensemble global warming projection experiments were conducted on the Earth Simulator (ES). The scenario experiments carried out on the ES consist of 20th century historical simulation and future scenario experi-ments up till year 2450.

Description
Summary:ensemble global warming projection experiments were conducted on the Earth Simulator (ES). The scenario experiments carried out on the ES consist of 20th century historical simulation and future scenario experi-ments up till year 2450. The future scenarios include IPCC SRES (Special Report on Emission Scenarios) scenarios for the 21st century, the green house gases (GHGs) stabilization and overshoot scenarios beyond the 21st century, through which the long-term response of climate system to GHG stabilization levels is investi-gated. Future changes in surface air temperature, sea ice volume, thermohaline circulation and sea surface level are presented as an overview of the obtained simulation results. The porting of CCSM3 software to the ES and its computational performance are also described.
