Dedicated Simulation?

Would we want a dedicated simulation for this? If so, the following could be recommended:

2x15 months starting in October 2005 (1x present-day, 1x pre-industrial aerosol emissions); submit output for Jan - Dec 2006

The pre-industrial run would be needed for the forcing estimates. If no nudging option exists, 5-year runs would be needed If several groups decide this can be done at a reasonable cost in both man-power and computing time, the advantage of carrying out separate simulations would be to potentially get some initial results quickly.


Wait for CICCS simulator?

The CFMIP ISCCP/Calipso/Cloudsat simulator is scheduled to become available as a beta-release in spring 2008. Should we opt to become test users and implement the beta-version prior to running any experiment?
