Hadley Centre © Crown copyright 2004 Purpose and basic methodology  Initially focused on AGCMs all forced with same HadISST sea surface temperature and sea ice analysis  Characterize variability, trends and predictability of climatic conditions and events of the past ~130 years associated with various slowly varying forcing functions including SST  Differs from AMIP in NOT being primarily focused on model validation and with strong multi-annual to multi- decadal variability (predictability and understanding aspects) focus. AMIP only c. 20 years, C20C 130 years.

Hadley Centre © Crown copyright 2004 Approach  Period of interest: 1871-current  Organization:  Jointly organized by Hadley Centre, UK & Center for Ocean-Land- Atmosphere Studies (COLA), USA  24 different modeling groups participating internationally  CLIVAR project & reporting to WMO/CAS/WGNE  Now includes many other forcing data sets, including greenhouse gases, ozone, volcanic aerosols and solar variability, but not uniformly across groups yet.  Now expanded to include use of “Pacemaker experiments” and coupled models in order to more accurately simulate modes of variability that are inherently coupled and to understand mechanisms.

Hadley Centre © Crown copyright 2004 Contributions of C20C C20C contributes to:  Seasonal to interannual predictability  Decadal to interdecadal variability & predictability  Understanding climate trends  Model evaluation

Hadley Centre © Crown copyright 2004 Chronology  Project initiated by Hadley Centre  several informal bilateral collaborations established  1 st workshop held at Hadley Centre in Nov 1994  Input to 1995 IPCC assessment and special session at 1 st international AMIP conference in 1995  Revitalized by Hadley Centre with strong COLA infrastructure support.  1998 invitation to several modeling groups  infrastructure provided by COLA ( GDS)  2 nd workshop held at COLA in Jan 2002 (reported in CLIVAR Exchanges, Jun 2002)  Agreed set of runs with updated forcing data sets, diagnostics and special projects  C20C established as official CLIVAR project in January 2003  Third Workshop Apr 2004, ICTP, Italy  Special Meeting July 2005, Prague, Czech Republic

Hadley Centre © Crown copyright 2004 Phases of C20C activity since 1999 Phase 1 (prior to 2003): SST and sea ice changes  Hadley Centre provides HadISST1.1 SST and sea ice data set as lower boundary conditions  Integrate over (at least )  Ensembles of at least 4 members Phase 2 ( ): include atmospheric composition changes  Greenhouse gases – CO 2, O 3, etc.  Aerosols (volcanic)  Solar variability  Hadley Centre can provide a full set of forcings Phase 3 ( ): “Pacemaker” experiments, much more emphasis on land surface /diurnal variation of SST/ better SST and sea ice  Land surface forcing (version already in Hadley Centre model) and special experiments  Explore influence of diurnal variation of SST in HadiSST1  More highly resolved HadISST2 from 2009.

Hadley Centre © Crown copyright 2004 Special Topics  Predictability and understanding of seasonal to multi-decadal phenomena  1930s drought in USA (“Dust Bowl”)  European winter (links to NAO time series work)  Autumn 2000 western European floods  2003 European heat wave  Interdecadal variations of summer climate over Europe and North Atlantic.  Decadal modulation of responses to ENSO  Time series – variations, trends and their causes  SOI, NAO, PNA, Asian monsoon rainfall, Sahel rainfall, Nordeste of Brazil rainfall, MJO trends  Global and regional land surface air temperature trends  Others, e.g., river runoff trends  Use of new diagnostic methods in climate variability studies

Hadley Centre © Crown copyright 2004 Key Validating Data Sets  NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis (1948-now)  ERA40 Reanalysis ( )  HadSLP global monthly sea level pressure analysis updated with modified NCEP ( )  New EMSLP daily sea level pressure data set over extratropical N Atlantic and Europe  Brohan et al land surface air temperature data (1850- now) and Hulme land surface rainfall analyses (1871-now)  Xie-Arkin global precipitation analysis (1979-now)

Hadley Centre © Crown copyright 2004 Report of the C20C Prague Special Meeting, 2005

Hadley Centre © Crown copyright 2004 Key Proposals of the 2005 Prague Special Meeting for future coordinated C20C experiments

Hadley Centre © Crown copyright 2004 Links to WCRP  C20C became a CLIVAR activity in Jan 2003  Also reports to Working Group on Numerical Experimentation (WCRP/CAS/WGNE)  Need to strengthen our links to the Working Group on Seasonal to Interannual Prediction. How should we do this? Exploratory meeting involving CKF in autumn 2004.
