| Experiment | Expt. | Realization | first available year | first available month | last available year | last available month | control or 20C3M simulation from which this run was initiated | year in control or 20C3M simulation that corre-sponds to the first available year of this run | comment | |
| 1%/year CO2 increase experiment (to doubling) | 1%to2x | Run 1 | 2001 | 1 | 2080 | 12 | PIcntrl Run 1 | 1871 | - | |
| climate of the 20th Century experiment (20C3M) | 20C3M | Run 1 | 1871 | 1 | 2000 | 12 | PIcntrl Run 1 | 1871 | i.e., Initialised from the end of the 120 year so-called adjustment coupled control run, as per PIcntrl | |
| 20C3M | Run 2 | 1871 | 1 | 2000 | 12 | PIcntrl Run 1 | 1881 | 20C3M Run 2 initialised from PIcntrl Run 1 ten years later than 20C3M Run 1, i.e., at end of Model year 130 = Data year 1880 of PIcntrl Run 1. I.e., year 1871 of 20CM3 Run 2 has corresponding control year of 1881 in PIcntrl Run 1 | ||
| 20C3M | Run 3 | 1871 | 1 | 2000 | 12 | PIcntrl Run 1 | 1891 | 20C3M Run 3 initialised from PIcntrl Run 1 twenty years later than 20C3M Run 1, i.e., at end of Model year 140 = Data year 1890 of PIcntrl Run 1. I.e., year 1871 of 20CM3 Run 3 has corresponding control year of 1891 in PIcntrl Run 1 | ||
| 2xCO2 equilibrium experiment | 2xCO2 | Run 1 | 2001 | 1 | 2060 | 12 | Slabcntl | 2001 | Initialized from year 110 of a specified SST run (as for Slabcntl) | |
| committed climate change experiment | Commit | Run 1 | 2001 | 1 | 2100 | 12 | 20C3M Run 1 | 2001 | - | |
| pre-industrial control experiment | PIcntrl | Run 1 | 1871 | 1 | 2250 | 12 | NA | NA | Both Run 1 and Run 2 of PIcntrl were initialised from the end of a 120 year so-called adjustment control run with the full coupled model. Model year 121 renamed as 1871 to make it easier to match years to scenario runs | |
| PIcntrl | Run 2 | 2001 | 1 | 2080 | 12 | NA | NA | Same start as Run 1, tiny perturbation applied at end of year 120 of the so-called adjustment coupled control to give a different control realisation. Model year 121 of this realisation renamed as 2001 to match the 1% run | ||
| slab ocean control experiment | Slabcntl | Run 1 | 2001 | 1 | 2060 | 12 | NA | NA | Started from year 110 of a specified SST run. No separate qflux spinup period. | |
