This directory contains:

1) Model_Simulations
2) UVic2.9_Source_Code


The "Model_Simulations" directory contain the different model simulations used in the paper. Their names correpsond to the model experiments listed in Table 1.

Compiled model code used for the simulations is located in the "Code" directory. The preprocessing code is in the local "Updates" and "UVic2.9_Source_Code" directories. The mk.in file lists the priority of directories in which the preprocessing files are chosen for compilation (search below "### source code directories" for the list in mk.in). The control.in file sets model parameters that are different from values initialized in the code.

Inital conditions and forcing files are located in the "Data" directory. The restart file "rest.07000.01.01.nc" provides the model conditions after 7000 years of model simulation time to more efficiently reach the quasi steady-state conditions used in the paper. Otherwise, set the "init" variable in control.in to ".true." to start from default initial conditions.

The model output "ModelName_output.nc" is the annually averaged three dimensional model results.
