Description:
Project: IPCC Data Distribution Centre : Second 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/IS92A_SAR/). This information contained in either IS92 emission scenarios (IPCC 1992) or published model studies using data from these scenarios. Six alternative IPCC scenarios (IS92a to f) were published in the 1992 Supplementary Report to the IPCC Assessment. These scenarios embodied a wide array of assumption affecting how future greenhouse gas emissions might evolve in the absence of climate policies beyond those already adoped. Model experiments, also using different forcing scenarios, were calculated at other modeling centres. Leggett, J., W.J. Pepper and R.J. Swart, 1992: Emissio ns Scenarios for IPCC: An Update. In: Climate Change 1992. The Supplementary Report to the IPCC Scientific Assessment [Houghton, J.T., B.A. Callander and S.K. Varney (eds.)], Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK, pp. 69-95. _ Model experiments, also using IS92a forcing scenarios, were calculated at other modeling centres: NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research, USA) GFDL (Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, USA) CCCma (Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis, Canada) CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, Australia) Hadley Centre (Met Office Hadley Centre, UK) CCSR (Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, the University of Tokyo, Japan) DKRZ (German Climate Computing Center, Germany) MPI-M (Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, Germany) and more.
Summary: (member 1 of 3 ensemble simulations, the original) This ensemble of 3 simulations was performed with the first version of the coupled global model CGCMI. The model is forced by an effective greenhouse forcing corresponding to that observed from 1850 to the present, and a forcing corresponding to an increase of CO2 at a rate of 1% per year thereafter until year 2100. The direct effect of sulphate aerosols is also included by increasing the surface albedo as in Reader and Boer (1998). Details of the model and an analysis of this simulation are given in Boer et al. (1998). These data represent monthly averaged surface values of selected variables for the IPCC-Data Distribution Centre. (see also http://www.ipcc-data.org/ )
