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 https://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 2000 of CCSM3 model run b30.030a and executed on hardware seaborg.nersc.gov. The input external forcings are
ozone forcing : A2.ozone.128x64_L18_1991-2100_c040528.nc
aerosol optics : AerosolOptics_c040105.nc
aerosol MMR : AerosolMass_V_128x256_clim_c031022.nc
carbon scaling : carbonscaling_1870-2000_c040225.nc
solar forcing : Fixed at 1366.5 W m-2
GHGs : ghg_ipcc_A2_1870-2100_c040521.nc
GHG loss rates : noaamisc.r8.nc
volcanic forcing : none
DMS emissions : DMS_emissions_128x256_clim_c040122.nc
oxidants : oxid_128x256_L26_clim_c040112.nc
SOx emissions : SOx_emissions_A2_128x256_L2_1990-2100_c040608.nc

Integrations were performed by NCAR and CRIEPI with support and facilities provided by NSF, DOE, MEXT and ESC/JAMSTEC.

For this experiment there are 5 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/.
