IPCC-DDC_CCCma_CGCM2_SRES_B2: 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_B2 storyline describes a world in which the emphasis is on
Local solutions to economic, social and environmental sustainability.
The global population is increasing at a lower rate than A2. It has
an intermediate level of economic development and a less rapid and
more diverse technological change than in A1 and B1.
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 iospycnal / eddy stirring
parameterization (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_B2 scenario. They provide monthly
averaged values of selected variables for the IPCC-DDC.
