Expect project
Project definitions
- What model resolution will be used?
2 degree (is already validated and has control simulation done)
- A common model branch is created based on the CMIP5-version of the carbon cycle model but there are some differences
Please use the branch https://svn.met.no/NorESM/noresm/branches/projectEXPECT_cmip5-r143-1.

Open questions in the project
How do we want to branch off the realisations?
Do we want / can we computationally (CPU-hours and storage space) afford 3 realisations for each of the key experiments? >> 3 realisations will be done for Tier 1 / core experiments.
What years do we want to do Climate Engineering? >> 2020 to 2100.
How many years do we want to run after Climate Engineering is switched off (‘termination effect’)? >> 50 years for now.
Description of model reference version
The model reference is based on the NorESM1-ME version, which is the same version used in CMIP5, with minor adjustments. The set up adopted in the EXPECT project is based on a fully-interactive climate carbon cycle coupling. The atmospheric CO2 concentration is spatially and temporally varying and is prognostically simulated according to the sources and sinks from land and ocean CO2 fluxes.

List of “official” model runs:
To purpose of this table is as follows:
Reproduce bit-identical results from any project run based solely on the information in this table!
It should be possible to understand how much storage space is needed in total for the project
It should be possible to understand the purpose of all the runs by reading the table
