Abstract
Abstract. Projection of the contribution of ice sheets to sea level change as part of
the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) takes the form
of simulations from coupled ice sheet–climate models and stand-alone ice
sheet models, overseen by the Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project for
CMIP6 (ISMIP6). This paper describes the experimental setup for
process-based sea level change projections to be performed with stand-alone
Greenland and Antarctic ice sheet models in the context of ISMIP6. The
ISMIP6 protocol relies on a suite of polar atmospheric and oceanic
CMIP-based forcing for ice sheet models, in order to explore the uncertainty
in projected sea level change due to future emissions scenarios, CMIP
models, ice sheet models, and parameterizations for ice–ocean interactions.
We describe here the approach taken for defining the suite of ISMIP6
stand-alone ice sheet simulations, document the experimental framework and
implementation, and present an overview of the ISMIP6 forcing to be
used by participating ice sheet modeling groups.
