These data represent daily values (daily mean, instantaneous daily output, diurnal cycle) 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 20th century simulation (included year 2000) was initiated from year 111 of the control preindustrial simulation (nominal year 1970), when equilibrium was reached (corresponds to nominal year 1860 of 20C3M). Forcing agents included: CO2,CH4,N2O,O3,CFC11(including other CFCs and HFCs),CFC12; sulfate(Boucher),BC,sea salt,desert dust aerosols. This is followed by a commitment experiment for the 21th century (year 2001-2100) with all concentrations fixed at their levels of year 2000. These datasets are available in netCDF format. The dataset names are composed of - centre/model acronym (e.g. CNCM3: CNRM/CM3) - 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: CNCM3_SRA2_1_MM_hur850 The time coverage of the experiment is 1/1/1860 - 31/12/2000 , but for relative_humidity (hur) and all variables on level 925hPa the storage begins only at 1/1/1900 (Only for run1, run2 is complete). For this experiment 2 ensemble runs were carried out. Technical data to this experiment: CNRM-CM3 (2004): atmosphere: Arpege-Climat v3 (T42L45, cy 22b+); ocean: OPA8.1; sea ice: Gelato 3.10; river routing: TRIP
