+## Running an AMIP-like simulation
+
+A runscript for an AMIP-like simulation is available in `runs/amip/`, the run script is `exp.amip.run`. The script is written for user `avoigt_teach` and needs to be adapted accordingly for others users (e.g., replacing `avoigt_teach` where needed and adapting some of the directory names.)
+
+The simulation is AMIP-like because SSTs, sea ice etc. are prescribed as climatological averages and are the same for each year.
