Confused about b30.030a

Hi,

Can anybody please tell me what exactly is meant by "b30.030a". How exactly is this different from b30.030b, b30.030c etc; Thanks!

They are different ensemble members for the 'climate of the 20th century runs', so basically the model configuration and forcing are identical but the initial conditions vary see the following for details
