| Abstract | Project: CMIP7 Future scenario experiments. Exploration of the future climate under a (selected) range of possible boundary conditions. In CMIP7, the priority tier for experiments is conditional on whether you are doing emissions- or concentration-driven simulations. There is no way to express this in the CVs (nor time to implement something to handle this conditionality). This means that, for your particular situation, some experiments may be at a lower tier than is listed in the CVs. For example, the `vl` scenario is tier 1 for concentration-driven models and tier 2 for emissions-driven models. However, in the CVs, we have used the highest priority tier (across all the possible conditionalities). Hence `vl` is listed as tier 1 in the CVs (even though it is actually tier 2 for emissions-driven models).For details, please see the full description in the ScenarioMIP description papers. Produced by: UKNCSP is a strategic partnership between the Met Office and six NERC-funded research centres in the UK. This partnership consists of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), British Geological Survey (BGS), Met Office, National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS), National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO), National Oceanography Centre (NOC) and UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH), with a mission to unite and harness UK climate science capability, advance international partnerships, and drive solutions for a resilient, net-zero world. (Using Model/Source: UKESM1-3-LL with Experiment esm-scen7-vl) UKESM 1.3 includes dynamically evolving MetUM GA7/GA7.1 atmosphere with the embedded UKCA trace gas chemistry, GLOMAP-mode aerosol schemes, and JULES 5.1 land surface. These are coupled to the NEMO3.6 ocean with embedded CICE sea-ice and MEDUSA ocean biogeochemistry models. Land ice is represented through BISICLES to enable interactive ice sheets for both the Antarctic and Greenland. Along with a CH4 emission driven capability these are the 2 primary updates in UKESM 1.3 compared to 1.1. Experiment: CMIP7 ScenarioMIP Very Low emission scenario - The Very Low emission scenario is designed to keep the temperature level as low as plausible given feasibility constraints. This scenario is thus relevant for the low end of the Paris range (staying as close as plausible to 1.5C at the time of peak warming and limiting warming to 1.5C by the end of the century). Run with prescribed carbon dioxide emissions (for prescribed carbon dioxide concentrations, see `scen7-vl`). 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.
