CM2c Atmosphere-only run

The 3-degree atmospheric model was run using prescribed ocean surface temperatures for 20 years. Greenhouse gas concentrations, land cover type and solar forcing were all set to standard '1990' values.

This ran at GFDL, Nov 26-27, 2008 on ic11 and ic14.

The average cpu time per year was 36.63 minutes, on 40 processors (2 strings of 20).

The output of this run can be found on the GFDL archive at:
