Simulations of HAPPI (Half a degree Additional warming, Prognosis and Projected Impacts) Tier-1 experiments based on the MIROC5 atmospheric model of the University of Tokyo, NIES and JAMSTEC (MIROC)

Project: IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C - The project embraces the global model output data, relevant for the Special Report on IPCC special report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways (SR1.5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC: http://www.ipcc.ch), published in 2018. The data was provided by the international HAPPI-MIP initiative (Half a degree Additional warming, Prognosis and Projected Impacts - Model Intercomparison Project: http://www.happimip.org/). Summary: Global HAPPI-MIP protocol data based on the MIROC5 [1] AGCM developed by the University of Tokyo, NIES and JAMSTEC (MIROC). This CERA experiment includes data of 160 AMIP simulations within the period 1950-2016, 100 AMIP-like simulations of 2106-2116 representing a climate warmer by 1.5°C than under pre-industrial conditions (1861-1880) and 100 AMIP-like simulations of 2106-2116 representing a climate warmer by 2.0°C than under pre-industrial conditions.
