IPCC-DDC_CCCma_CGCM2_SRES_A2: 201 YEARS MONTHLY MEANS Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis Canada
Description
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 atmospheric component AGCM2 is a spectral model with
triangular truncation at wave no. 32 and 10 vertical levels.
The ocean model component based on the GFDL MOM 1.1 code
with 29 vertical levels and has a isopycnal/eddy stirring
parameterisation (Gent and McWilliams, 1990).
CGCM2 (http://ec.gc.ca/ccmac-cccma/default.asp?lang=En&n=40D6024E-1 ).
The changes of anthropogenic emissions of CO2, CH4, N2O and
Sulphur dioxide are prescribed according to the above
mentioned scenario.
These data belongs to a set of three ensemble runs, with the
CCCma-model, using the SRES_A2 scenario. They provide monthly
averaged values of selected variables for the IPCC-DDC.
