The first DECK simulation is the piControl simulation which requires a minimum of 500 years. Other experiments will all be initialized by branching of from piControl at various stages. A possible scenario is provided in the figure below. Historical_H1, 1pctCO2, and abrupt-4xCO2 would start from year 101 of piControl, amip from year 1870 of historical_H1, historical_H2 from year 151 of piControl and all remaining historical members would be spaced 50 years apart (201, 251, 301).
