Title:

Forward Control runs


Description:

The Forward Control runs are runs without ESM thermal forcing anomalies.  There are four kinds of files for each set of experiment, resolution, melt_parameterization, and melt_calibration:

1. A config file, “ismip6.config”
2. A history file containing one time slice corresponding to year 2500 and named “out_ISMIP6_Antarctica_4km.nc” (or similarly at other resolutions)
3. A restart file, containing one time slice corresponding to the last saved time slice (could vary) and named “ISMIP6_Antarctica_4km.restart.nc”
4. A time series file containing scalar output with a frequency of 1 year spanning the entire experiment, named “out_ISMIP6_Antarctica_4km.scalars.nc”

Each file has a prefix string indicating the experiment, resolution, melt_parameterization, and melt_calibration. See the README file in the parent dataset for information on these values.  These can be used to filter the file list under Download Options to the subset of interest.
