Description:
Project: IPCC Data Distribution Centre : Fourth Assessment Report data sets - The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been established by WMO and UNEP to assess scientific, technical and socio-economic information, relevant for the understanding of climate change, its potential impacts and option for adaption and migration. Projection of future trends for a number of key variables are provided through this section of the DDC (http://ipcc-data.org/sim/gcm_clim/SRES_AR4 ). The SRES scenarios have been constructed to explore future developments in the global enviromental with special reference to the production of greenhouse gases and aerosol precursor emission. A set of four scenario families (A1, A2, B1, B2) have been developed that each of this storylines describes one possible demographic, polito-economic, societal and technological future. Model experiments, also using different forcing scenarios, were calculated at other modeling centres. The data represent a subset of data sets from the IPCC Model Output Archive at PCMDI (https://pcmdi.llnl.gov/mips/cmip3/). _ These datasets are available in netCDF and GRIB format. The dataset names are composed of - centre/model acronym (e.g. MPEH5: Max-Planck-Institute/Echam5) - scenario acronym (e.g. SRB1: SRES B1) - run number (e.g. 1: run 1) - format identifier (e.g. N: netCDF, G: GRIB) - variable acronym [with level value] (e.g. hur850: relative humidity, 850 hPa) --> example: MPEH5_SRB1_1_G_hur850
Summary: These data represent monthly averaged values of selected variables for the Data Distribution Centre (DDC) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). (see also http://www.ipcc-data.org/) The model output prepared for IPCC Fourth Assessment climate of the 1%year CO2 increase experiment (to doubling). These datasets are available in netCDF and GRIB format. This simulation was initiated from year 0070-11 of PCM1 model run B04.10 and executed on hardware nirvana.acl.lanl.gov. The input external forcings are ozone forcing : ozn.T42.0596, cycled solar forcing : Fixed 1367.0 W m-2 GHGs : CO2 only increases 1% per year volcanic forcing : none SOx emissions : sulfate_1985ab.nc, scaled in code and cycled Physical constants used for derived data: Lv (latent heat of evaporation): 2.501e6 J kg-1 Lf (latent heat of fusion) : 3.337e5 J kg-1 r[h2o] (density of water) : 1000 kg m-3 For this experiment there are 5 ensemble runs available.
