Ensemble SimulationS of Extreme weather events under Nonlinear Climate changE (ESSENCE)H. A. Dijkstra Institute for Marine and Atmospheric research Utrecht, The ESSENCE project, carried out within the Distributed European Infrastructure
for Supercomputing Applications (DEISA), aims at a better understanding
of forced and internally generated climate variability. A relatively
large (16 member) ensemble simulation of climate change over the
years 1950-2100 in response to a known forcing (before 2000) and a particular
future emission scenario of greenhouse gases (after 2000) has been carried
out using the ECHAM5-OM1 (MPI, Hamburg) model. This standard ensemble
is accompanied by a set of four experimental (5 member) ensembles that
address model parameter sensitivities. The computations were done on the
NEC-SX8 at HLRS (Stuttgart) and data were stored and analyzed at SARA |
