The CCSM3 Deep Time Paleoclimate Simulation: lpia.lowstand.vegetation

I. Top Level Description

This dataset archives a simulation with Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3) known as lpia.lowstand.vegetation. It was called icehouse.noglaciation in Heavens et al. (2015), the publication in which it was first reported in the peer-reviewed literature. This publication should be used for reference concerning the overarching methodology of the simulation.

The simulation was run on the bluefire machine operated by the Computational Information Systems Laboratory (CISL) of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) between 29 March 2011 and 7 May 2011.

The included README.TXT provides a more detailed description.

I. 顶层描述
本数据集归档了一项使用通用气候系统模型第3版（Community Climate System Model version 3, CCSM3）的模拟试验，命名为lpia.lowstand.vegetation。该模拟在Heavens等人2015年发表的研究中曾被称为icehouse.noglaciation，此项研究是该模拟首次在同行评审学术文献中公开报道的成果，相关模拟的整体方法应参考该文献。

该模拟于2011年3月29日至2011年5月7日期间，在美国国家大气研究中心（National Center for Atmospheric Research, NCAR）计算信息系统实验室（Computational Information Systems Laboratory, CISL）运营的BlueFire超级计算机上运行完成。
