Abstract
Fully coupled climate control simulations explicitly resolving physical processes over a broader range of space and time scales than those resolved in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5 (CMIP5) have been carried out for periods ranging up to 150 years during the past decade. Now, we need to determine methodologies to initialize and carry out climate change simulations using these computationally demanding high-resolution coupled configurations. Towards this goal, we examine results from two distinct approaches used to initialize high-resolution present day (PD) transient simulations that approximate 1970-2015 climate change.
