Whith this set of model experiments we aim at answering the question:

How are mesoscale organised shallow cloud patterns responding to pseudo-global warming perturbations?

For the PGW simulation with SRMs the same domain, period and resolution as for the Present Day EUREC4A simulation should be used. The SST fields needs to be increased by 4K. The lateral boundaries perturbation fields are derived from a  30 year monthly means difference between a +4K-SST and a present day global climate simulation (see also section on methodology and references there). . For this purpose output data of the GFDL model has been used, a model with a moderate equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS).

The initialisation data, the lateral boundary conditions and the surface fields for the +4K-SST Pseudo-Global Warming runs can be found at an hourly basis here.

The same output as for the present day EUREC4A simulation is required

Only LEMs using open boundary conditionsare invited to perform a Pseudo-Global Warming (PGW) simulation. The same domain, period and resolution as for the Present-day EUREC4A simulations should be used. The SST fields need to be increased by 4K. The lateral boundaries perturbation fields are derived from a  30 year monthly means difference between a +4-SST and a present day global climate simulation (see also section on methodology and references there). . For this purpose output data of the GFDL model has been used, a model with a moderate equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS).

The  GFDL model data include three-dimensional perturbation fields of tenperature, specific humidity and wind (T, q_v, u, v) as well as the associated changes in geopotential height. 

The same output as for the present day EUREC4A simulation is required here.
