Control simulations 20th century simulations CO2 simulations RCP Simulations Decadal simulations AMIP simulations PMIP3 simulations

According to the CMIP5 design, BCC_CSM1.1 runs most of the experiments, BCC_CSM1.1(m) runs some core simulations. The output includes averages over a range of time scales, from hours to a full year, of important physical, chemical, and biological values from the atmosphere, ocean, land, and sea-ice components of BCC_CSM1.1 and BCC_CSM1.1(m). All CMIP5 data from BCC_CSM have been published on PCMDI gateway and released. The data user also can access all of the data directly on our datanode.

And the output from PMIP3 experiment also can be found at https://pmip3.lsce.ipsl.fr/p3_c5_design/

Ensemble member: 4 for every five years initialized from 1960 till 2005, 3 for initialized in other years.
Time Frequencies: monthly, daily, 6 hours, 3 hours
Initialization: Ocean initial condition is derived from a 50-year control run under the climate condition of 1958A.D. (3.2). In the 50-year run, the model state is dynamic nudging to the observed SODA data of 1958 with fixed .atmospheric forcing agents at 1958, and then integrates into the predict initial time with time-evolution observed SODA data and atmospheric forcing data.
Comment: The experiment starts from historical run at 1st Sep. 1st Nov. 1st Dec., XXXX year and 1st Jan XXXX+1 year for realization 1 to 4. With ocean initial conditions using the nudging method to observed temperature for the start time. The atmospheric and land compositions are prescribed as in the historical run (expt. 3.2) and the RCP4.5 scenario (expt. 4.1) beyond year 2005.

Ensemble member: 1
Parent experiment: N/A
Time Frequencies: monthly, daily
Comment: This is the BCC past1000 experiment, covering the period from 850 to 1850A.D.. Used forcings are list as follows: (1) Volcanic Aerosols: 850-2000A.D. monthly, latitudinally, and height dependent stratospheric loading of the Gao-Robock-Ammann data set; (2) Solar irradiance: 850-1849 CE. solar irradiance reconstruction from Vieira, Krivova and Solanki (VK); (3) Trace gases: The evolution of CO2, CH4, N2O over the past 2 millennia table provided by FortunatJoos; (4) Orbital parameters: The precomputed table supplied by Gavin Schmidt; (5) The values of ozone, aerosols, vegetation, ice sheets, topography and coastlines are the same as in piControl. The experiment is consistent with PMIP3, imposing forcing for 850-1850. Check the PMIP3 website for details about the experimental design https://pmip3.lsce.ipsl.fr/p3_c5_design.
