Model Simulations
Experiment: xbmsa
Continuation of the integration of the Pliocene Coupled Model at high resolution, started from end of xbmea and continued for a further number of years. This has been run on a new computer platform/compiler and hence the results are not identical to xatsb/xbmea. This experiment represents our control Pliocene coupled ocean atmosphere model experiment. For further details of boundary conditions see xatsb1.

Pliocene_coupled
This is a continuation of xbmea but with new compiler. It is the Pliocene Coupled Model at high resolution, started from end of xatsb. This is run on the Newton and should be scientifcally identical to the xatsb and xbmea simulations.
