General Information

Name	CMIP7.CMIP.CCCma.CanESM5-1.piControl
Abstract	Project: CMIP7 CMIP core common experiments i.e. the DECK (Diagnostic, Evaluation and Characterization of Klima). Produced by: Environment and Climate Change Canada (Using Model/Source: CanESM5-1 with Experiment piControl) CanESM5-1 is a fully coupled atmosphere-ocean-land ESM, which is scientifically very similar to CanESM5, and includes major technical upgrades within the model components, as well as addressing some key scientific issues, like stratospheric dust spikes. Experiment: Pre-industrial control simulation with prescribed carbon dioxide concentrations (for prescribed carbon dioxide emissions, see `esm-piControl`). Used to characterise natural variability and unforced behaviour. CMIP7 is a project of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), providing climate projections to understand past, present, and future climate changes. It is part of the WCRP Earth System Modelling and Observations (ESMO) Core Project, which was formed to coordinate all modelling, data, and observation activities across WCRP and its key partners. Further details can be found here and in the CMIP7 Guidance pages. Parties using CMIP data should ensure they have read the WCRP CMIP (2026) CMIP Data Disclaimer.
