Final tuning
At the time piControl needed to start, we were still in the process of fine tuning the control simulation to reduce its long term drift in surface air temperature as much as possible. 20171228.beta3rc13_1850.ne30_oECv3_ICG.edison was the configuration with the smallest drift at the time. However, due to its limited duration (80 years), we couldn't conclusively determine whether the drift was as small as it could be. As a result, we decided to start two piControl simulations with the goal of running both of them for 100 years and then selecting one:
