The high-resolution simulation also includes water isotope capability, enabling direct comparisons with isotope records of past and present climate change from a range of archives. The simulation followed the protocols of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) and was run with atmospheric CO2 concentrations of 284.7 ppmv. The simulation was branched from year 646 of the long preindustrial simulation from the iHESP project and integrated for 60 years with water isotopes added. Only the final 38 years of the simulation (years 23-60) were run on Derecho and are shared here. Further details of the experimental design and simulation results can be found in Zhu et al. (2026; DOI: 10.21203/rs.3.rs-9097760/v1). The PI dataset is one of four high-resolution simulation datasets produced through the ASD PaleoWeather project. The other datasets represent the Last Glacial Maximum (29 TB), mid-Piacenzian Warm Period (28TB) and two Early Eocene Climatic Optimum (56 TB). Establishing separate GDEX dataset records for each period will allow the respective leads who set up and ran the simulation to serve as leads for the corresponding DOI. Each GDEX landing page will include links to the other PaleoWeather simulations, enabling discovery and comparison across climate periods. To our knowledge, the ASD PaleoWeather collection represents the first high-resolution paleoclimate simulation suite of this kind made available to the community. Its horizontal grid spacing is approximately ten times finer than traditional climate-model configurations, which typically use resolutions of 1-2 degrees. The CESM-HR resolution more realistically represents synoptic- and mesoscale atmospheric and oceanic phenomena, together with their interactions with large-scale circulation. The PI dataset will serve as a baseline climate state and support research on weather-climate interactions in a warm-climate state, including studies of extreme events such as heat waves, atmospheric rivers, and tropical cyclones. More broadly, the PaleoWeather simulations complement the MESACLIP historical and future simulations, providing opportunities to investigate links between climate and weather extremes across Earth's past, present, and future climate states. completed datahelp@ucar.edu pointOfContact notPlanned dataset https://gdex.ucar.edu/images/ds_logos/default_200_200.png Logo thumbnail from URL png NetCDF dataset Resource Type 2021-03-30 revision 4.4 DataCite Metadata Working Group orginator resourceTypeGeneral CESM > NCAR Community Earth System Model U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-09-02 revision 24.7 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Platforms EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > PRECIPITATION > PRECIPITATION PROFILES > LATENT HEAT FLUX EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE > SEA LEVEL PRESSURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR > WATER VAPOR INDICATORS > HUMIDITY > SPECIFIC HUMIDITY EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > SURFACE TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > SURFACE WINDS > U/V WIND COMPONENTS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > UPPER AIR TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > WIND DYNAMICS > VERTICAL WIND VELOCITY/SPEED EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > PRECIPITATION > LIQUID PRECIPITATION > RAIN U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-09-02 revision 24.7 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Science and Services Keywords Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License None eng utf-8 climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere NSF NCAR Geoscience Data Exchange datahelp@ucar.edu https://gdex.ucar.edu distributor 0 https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d651088/ https Dataset Description Related Link information https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d651088/dataaccess/ https Data Access Related Link download none asNeeded
