Easy Volcanic Aerosol (EVA v1.0): An idealized forcing generator for climate simulations, Supplement M. Toohey, B. Stevens, H. Schmidt, and C. Timmreck https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-2016-83
Short summary
Simulating volcanically-forced climate variability is a challenging task for climate models. The Model Intercomparison Project on the climatic response to volcanic forcing (VolMIP) – an endorsed contribution to CMIP6 – defines a protocol for idealized volcanic-perturbation experiments to improve comparability of results across different climate models. This paper illustrates the design of VolMIP's experiments and describes the aerosol forcing input datasets to be used.
