ENSEMBLES BCCR-BCM2.0 SRESA2 run1, 6h and 12h instantaneous values

Drange, Helge

Experiment
Summary
These data represent 6 hourly and 12 hourly instantaneous values of selected variables for ENSEMBLES (http://www.ensembles-eu.org). The list of output variables can be found in: http://ensembles.wdc-climate.de/output-variables

The model output was prepared for the IPCC Fourth Assessment SRES A2 experiment.

The A2 scenario is the part of the A family which describes a balance across all energy sources. The experiment has been initialized in year 2000 of the 20C3M run and continues until year 2100 with anthropogenic forcings (CO2, CH4, N2O, CFCs, O3 and sulfate) according to A2.


These datasets are available in netCDF format.
The dataset names are composed of
- centre/model acronym (e.g. MPEH5: Max-Planck-Institute/Echam5)
- scenario acronym (e.g. SRA2: SRES A2)
- run number (e.g. 1: run 1)
- time interval (MM:monthly mean, DM:daily mean, DC:diurnal cycle, 6H:6 hourly, 12h:12hourly)
- variable acronym [with level value] (e.g. hur850: relative humidity, 850 hPa)
--> example: MPEH5_SRA2_1_MM_hur850

For this experiment 1 ensemble run was carried out.
