The CCSM3 Deep Time Climate and Dust Cycle Simulations Isabel2_highmtncami2_4xco2_circ_res and Derivatives
Description
I. Top Level Description This dataset archives simulations with Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3), including a climate model simulation of an interglacial interval during the Late Paleozoic Ice Age in which the altitude of the Central Pangaean Mountains has been raised to ~5000 m altitude to enable widespread tropical glaciation, cold, and aridity. But pCO2 was raised from 140 ppmv to 560 ppmv and the orbit was adjusted to a circular orbit to allow deglaciation at high latitudes. Dust source apportionment experiments based on this simulation also are archived. The baseline climate simulation Isabel2_highmtncami2_4xco2_circ_res was run on the cheyenne machine operated by the Computational Information Systems Laboratory (CISL) of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) between 20 August 2018 and 8 September 2018. The dust apportionment experiments were run on cheyenne on 30 July 2019. The baseline climate simulation is a hybrid of Isabel1 archived as DOI: 10.17632/fv54b3gp2w.1.
