MPI-ESM1.2-HAM: Global Climate Model Output for CMIP6 Pre-Industrial Control

Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) datasets from the MPI-ESM1.2-HAM climate model. The model output was prepared for the pre-industrial control (piControl) experiment by a consortium of institutions including ETH Zurich and the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology. This simulation data provides a basis for climate research and serves as a resource for the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report.

Use Cases

• Analyzing long-term climate variability based on pre-industrial control simulation data.
• Studying aerosol-cloud interactions based on the integrated HAM2.3 aerosol module.
• Benchmarking climate model performance based on CMIP6-standardized output.
• Investigating Earth system feedbacks based on coupled atmosphere, ocean, land, and sea ice components.

Strengths

• Data follows the full CMIP6 Data Reference Syntax, ensuring standardized interoperability.
• Model includes detailed components for aerosol, atmosphere, ocean biogeochemistry, and sea ice.
• Project involves simulations from about 120 global climate models and around 45 institutions worldwide.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
