Description
Summary:This repository contains annual 3D sea water age since surface contact files from a subset of simulations with GFDL's ESM4.1 climate model (Dunne et al., 2020) that were contributed to the 6th Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6). The files have been regridded from MOM6 native grid to standard World Ocean Atlas 1x1 horizontal grid. They have been remapped from the lagrangian vertical coordinate used by GFDL's MOM6 ocean model (Adcroft et al., 2019) to standard World Ocean Atlas depths. Files have undergone QA/QC. All data files are NetCDF. Enquiries should be directed to Jasmin.John (Jasmin.John@noaa.gov) or John Dunne (John.Dunne@noaa.gov) Anyone using these data should cite Dunne et al. (2020) and Adcroft et al. (2019). See references below. Other variables associated with these simulations, along with assigned DOI's, are available through the ESGF CMIP6 portal:https://esgf-node.llnl.gov/projects/cmip6/ ______________________________________________________________________ The organization of this repository is as follows: Experiments: The concentration-forced piControl simulation: NOAA-GFDL/CMIP6/CMIP/GFDL-ESM4/ESM4_piControl_D The concentration-forced historical simulation: NOAA-GFDL/CMIP6/CMIP/GFDL-ESM4/ESM4_historical_D1 The historical simulation was spawned from year 101 of the pre-industrial control simulation For each experiment, 3D annual sea water age data can be found in the sub-directory: /ocean_annual_z_1x1deg _________________________________________________________________________ NOTES: Provenance: The data provided here do not have metadata that can be used for provenance and traceability back to NOAA/GFDL. The data DOI assigned should be used when sharing and citing these data. _________________________________________________________________________ : {"references": ["Dunne, John P., Larry W Horowitz, Alistair Adcroft, Paul Ginoux, Isaac M Held, Jasmin G John, John P Krasting, Sergey Malyshev, Vaishali Naik, Fabien Paulot, Elena Shevliakova, Charles A Stock, Niki Zadeh, V Balaji, Chris Blanton, Krista A Dunne, Christopher Dupuis, Jeffrey W Durachta, Raphael Dussin, Paul P G Gauthier, Stephen M Griffies, Huan Guo, Robert Hallberg, Matthew J Harrison, Jian He, William J Hurlin, Colleen McHugh, Raymond Menzel, P C D Milly, Sergei Nikonov, David J Paynter, Jeff J Ploshay, Aparna Radhakrishnan, Kristopher Rand, Brandon G Reichl, Thomas E Robinson, M Daniel Schwarzkopf, Lori T Sentman, Seth D Underwood, Hans Vahlenkamp, Michael Winton, Andrew T Wittenberg, Bruce Wyman, Yujin Zeng, and Ming Zhao, November 2020: The GFDL Earth System Model version 4.1 (GFDL-ESM 4.1): Overall coupled model description and simulation characteristics.
