UKESM1-CH4 output for methane emissions-driven and methane LBC-driven future climate projections under SSP3-7.0 and SSP1-2.6 scenarios

This dataset contains model output for experiments using the UKESM1-CH4 emissions-driven configuration of the UK Earth System model, based on the science version (Sellar et al.,2011, DOI:10.1029/2019MS001739) coupled with the United Kingdom Chemistry and Aerosol scheme (Archibald et al., DOI:10.5194/gmd-13-1223-2020). The simulation follows the experimental design of CMIP6-sponsored ScenarioMIP (O'Neill et al., DOI:10.5194/gmd-9-3461-2016) SSP3-7.0 and SSP1-2.6 Shared Socioeconomic Pathways. These simulation span 2015-2050 and use a coupled atmosphere-ocean climate model. To assess climate model variability, three ensemble members are archived which differ only in the initial conditions for the experiment. The data comprise annual mean output over the experimental period for temperature, ozone, methane, hydroxyl radical, precipitation and provided diagnostic air mass and diagnostics suitable for the calculation of the methane lifetime and budget. We archive data from this methane emissions-driven configuration as NZAME/ensemble experiment as by186(ensemble 1), bz146(ensemble 2) and bz473(ensemble 3). To improve reproducibility the UKESM1 jobids are included as identifiers. For comparison, emissions-driven experiments are included as {Scenario}/JOBID: SSP1-2.6 (bo812), and three ensemble members for SSP3-7.0: bo797(ens 1), ca723(ens 2) and cb039(ens3).
