IPCC DDC AR4 NCAR-PCM 1PCTTO4X 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 https://www.ipcc-data.org/)

The model output prepared for IPCC Fourth Assessment 1%/year CO2 increase experiment (to quadrupling).

These datasets are available in netCDF and GRIB format.

This simulation was initiated from year 0140-03 of PCM1 model run B04.10 and executed on hardware nirvana.acl.lanl.gov. The input external forcings are
ozone forcing : ozn.T42.0596, cycled
solar forcing : Fixed 1367.0 W m-2
GHGs : CO2 only increases 1% per year
volcanic forcing : none
SOx emissions : sulfate_1985ab.nc, scaled in code and cycled
Physical constants used for derived data:
Lv (latent heat of evaporation): 2.501e6 J kg-1
Lf (latent heat of fusion ): 3.337e5 J kg-1
r[h2o] (density of water ): 1000 kg m-3

For this experiment there is only one run 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/.
