IPCC DDC AR4 NCAR-PCM SRESA2 run1

National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)

Experiment
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 SRES A2 experiment.

These datasets are available in netCDF and GRIB format.

This simulation was initiated from year 1980-03 of PCM1 model run B06.08 and executed on hardware blackforest.ucar.edu. The input external forcings are
ozone forcing : noaao3.122yr.IPCC.041299.nc
solar forcing : Hoyt/Schatten solar forcing, defined in code
: see website for details
GHGs : defined in code, see website
volcanic forcing : none
SOx emissions : SO4-A2.1980-2099.R.nc

For this experiment there are 4 ensemble runs available.

Model output data for CMIP3 in higher temporal resolutions and further variables are available in ESGF at https://esgf-node.llnl.gov/search/cmip3/.
