AM4 Control
Files: LWCLR_1rN.nc  LWCRE_1yrN.nc  SWCLR_1yrN.nc  SWCRE_1yrN.nc  TOA_1yrN.nc
Grid resolution: (90,144)
2000 years (annual means)
Fixed SSTs that are repeated for 200 years and then bootstrapped to form a 2000 year time series

Grid resolution: (90,144)
20 realizations (initial condition large ensemble)
January 2001 - December 2020 (240 months)
AMIP-style runs, prescribed observed SSTs and sea-ice
Forcing agents fixed at 2014 levels
