Before starting the 500-year coupled piControl-spinup simulation with constant pre-industrial forcing, a 10-year long ocean-only simulation initialized from the EN4 ocean reanalysis averaged over 1950–1954 has been performed. In these 10 years of ocean-only simulation the initial adjustment of the ocean state takes place. This pre-spinup helps to ensure a numerically stable adjustment phase of the coupled system. The piControl simulation is a continuation of the piControl-spinup simulation. From the piControl simulation the idealized greenhouse gas forcing simulations 1pctCO2 and abrupt-4xCO2 simulations as well as the historical forcing simulations are branched off at specific years (branch-off point(s), see table below). At the end of the historical forcing simulations, that is at the end of the year 2014, the scenario simulations are continued with forcing prescribed from the anthropogenic forcing scenarios. These scenarios are derived from Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP).
