The SRES data sets were published by the IPCC in 2000 and classified into four different scenario families (A1, A2, B1, B2). SRES_A2 storyline describes a very heterogeneous world with the underlying theme of self-reliance and preservation of local identities. It results in this scenario a continous increasing population together with a slower economic growth and technological change. The model consists of the atmospheric component which based on the weather forecast model of ECMWF. The atmosphere component is the standard model version of a 19-level hybrid sigma-pressure coordinate system. The ocean component is a model which computes with isopycnal coordinates. ECHAM4/OPYC3(https://www.ipcc-data.org/gcm/models/tar/echam4opyc3.html). This data set is an enlargement of the IPCC data set and provides additionel meteorological parameters. The run produces monthly averaged values of the variabeles. Changes of anthropogenic emissions of CO2, CH4, N2O and sulphur dioxide are prescribed according to the above mentioned scenario. The model run starts in 1990 from the results of the scenario run GSDIO (Experiment "EH4OPYC_22723GSDIO") which has been run with observed conditions for the time period 1860-1990.
model data
The first record is incorrect for those variables that represent means over the
output intervall (e.g. TEMP2, DEWS2, precipitation, radiation quantities and more)
Completeness report
the years in the GRIB header are being counted from 30-55, 0-84
equivalent to model year 230 - 340; real year 1990 - 2100.
