FaIR v1.6.2 calibrated and constrained parameter set

<p>These .json files provides the 2237 ensemble members that are used to run the FaIR simple climate model in the IPCC&#39;s Sixth Assessment Report contributions to Working Group 1 and Working Group 3.</p> <p>v1.1 of this dataset includes two versions of the files:</p> <ul> <li>the original full parameter set `fair-1.6.2-wg3-params.json` as in v1.0</li> <li>reduced file size&nbsp;versions&nbsp;`fair-1.6.2-wg3-params-slim.json` and&nbsp;`fair-1.6.2-wg3-params-common.json` where only the parameters that vary between ensemble members are included in the former and everything else is in the latter.&nbsp;This is optimised for running the Working Group 3 climate assessment.</li> </ul> <p>Drawn from an initial prior ensemble of 1 million, the following constraints are placed upon the results:</p> <ul> <li>representation of observed warming from 1850-2019, within observational uncertainty</li> <li>representation of observed ocean heat content change 1971-2018, within observational uncertainty</li> <li>reproduction of near-present day atmospheric concentrations of CO2 from the carbon cycle</li> <li>airborne fraction of CO2 with a distribution similar to the assessed range of Chapter 5, IPCC Working Group 1 AR6</li> <li>equilibrium climate sensitivity with a similar distribution to Chapter 7, IPCC Working Group 1, AR6</li> <li>transient climate response with a similar distribution to Chapter 7, IPCC Working Group 1, AR6</li> <li>projected future warming that is of a similar distribution to the SSP scenarios of Chapter 4, IPCC Working Group 1, AR6, when run with prescribed concentrations</li> </ul> <p><strong>Changelog</strong></p> <ul> <li>v1.1: inclusion of lightweight parameter sets.</li> <li>v1.0: original&nbsp;upload full parameter sets.</li> </ul>
