+# 2026-02-16 update
+
+Further to the update circulated on 12 February, there has been an iteration on the recommendation for piControl as follows:
+
+## Recommendation for pre-industrial control
+
+The piControl forcing should come from files with the source ID `FZJ-CMIP-ozone-1-2`,
+(there are no specific piControl files available in the `FZJ-CMIP-ozone-2-0` data).
+Note that this guidance differs from the email communication sent by the CMIP IPO on 12 February 2026.
+
+For pre-industrial control, there are two options.
+The first is the monthly climatology file (frequency value of monC).
+This dataset averages over a longer simulation, essentially removing variability like the QBO.
+If you wish to use this forcing for your piControl, simply apply it on repeat.
+
+The second is a transient file which has a time range equal to 182901-184912 in the filename.
+This file is found in the same directory as the historical forcing
+so please be careful to only use it for piControl and do not include it in historical forcing.
+This transient piControl forcing includes the QBO signal but uses average solar forcing and repeating 1850 emissions.
+If you wish to use this forcing for your piControl, simply apply it on repeat.
+
+For full details on the ozone dataset please see [Ozone concentrations - input4MIPs Controlled Vocabularies (CVs)](https://input4mips-cvs--413.org.readthedocs.build/en/413/dataset-overviews/ozone/)
