Description

These files contain the output of early Cambrian global climate simulations conducted using the coupled ocean-atmosphere FOAM general circulation model. The files include four hypothesized early Cambrian continental configurations, the topography-bathymetry files of which are also supplied. Global climate fields were simulated for each continental configuration at six greenhouse gas forcings: 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 times pre-industrial atmospheric level (PAL = 280 ppm). Simulations for all greenhouse gas forcings were run using present day orbital parameters. Additionally, there are cold and hot summer orbital parameter (CS and HS) and high and low obliquity orbital parameter (OH and OL) simulations at 32 PAL CO2. The reader is referred to the associated paper for a full description of the model and boundary conditions.
