The control run is set to perpetual present-day conditions. These data represent monthly averaged surface values of selected variables for the IPCC-Data Distribution Centre. (see also http://www.ipcc-data.org/ )
The 1960-2000 is "present day" and can be used as the "control" to compute anomalies for the 21st century runs. These data represent monthly averaged surface values of selected variables for the IPCC-Data
The business as usual should go from 2000-2100 and is comparable to IS92a. These data represent monthly averaged surface values of selected variables for the IPCC-Data Distribution Centre. (see also http://www.ipcc-data.org/ )
The stabilization run is not "stabilization" but a "policy-limited" scenario where there is a little bit of intervention on the CO2 emissions. Basically the globally averaged temperatures don't get quite
