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 1%/year CO2 increase experiment (to quadrupling). These datasets are available in netCDF and GRIB format. The initial condition is identical to the beginning of PDcntrl experiment. The CO2 concentration starts increasing (from 348 ppmv) with 1%/year (compound) rate and reaches quadrupled (1392 ppmv) at 140th year, and is fixed quadrupled after that. The other forcing is same as in the PDcntrl experiment (CH4 = 1650 ppmv, N2O = 306 ppbv, solar constant = 1367 W/m2) For this experiment there is only one run available.
