I\'m Puzzled. My Graphics screen shows that my bit of the experiment covers the period 1810 to 2050. It also states that I\'m almost 60% through (As does the Tasks screen). The schematic in the graphic screen seems to indicate that I should be at around 1930 - but I\'m actually only at 1837.

Is there a reason for this?

Thanks for your help,


Charlie

You\'re running a \'slab\' model, which refers to the ocean part being a fixed part, rather than a dynamic part of the model, as with the Coupled Ocean models.

These slab models run in 3 phases:
pre industrial: 1811-1825
industrial: 1826-1840
doubled CO2: 2051-2065

66.66% is the end of phase 2, so 60% is just short of this, and therefore just short of 1840.

More detailed info here, in the Experiment Strategy sections.
