The CANARI Science Programme and HadGEM3 Large Ensemble

Abstract: The UK national science programme CANARI (Climate change in the Arctic-North Atlantic Region and Impacts on the UK) aims to advance understanding of impacts on the UK arising from climate variability and change in the Arctic-North Atlantic region, with a focus on extreme weather and the potential for rapid, disruptive change. One tool that will allow to pursue these aims is a Large Ensemble (or SMILE; Single Model Initial Condition Large Ensemble) that is being produced in CANARI.

The CANARI Large Ensemble uses the Met Office CMIP6 physical climate model (HadGEM3-GC3.1) at N216 atmosphere resolution (about 60 km at midlatitudes) and at 1/4° resolution for the ocean. Forty ensemble members are produced driven by CMIP6 historical and SSP3-7.0 forcings during 1950-2099. This poster provides an overview of the CANARI Large Ensemble, including the status of the production runs and access to the output on JASMIN, and invites discussions about applications of this novel set of community simulations.
