Canadian Climate Centre Model Outputs for Carbon Dioxide Studies

Entry ID: NCAR_DS318.3

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The second generation General Circulation Model (GCMII) at the Canadian Climate Centre was used to run a CO2 experiment in which the current climate (1xCO2) was compared with a new equilibrium climate obtained with twice the amount of atmospheric CO2 (2xCO2). The model was run around November 1989 at T32 resolution, and several surface parameters and 500mb heights were output on a 3.75-degree resolution grid. For the globe, DSS has monthly 20-year climatologies of some surface parameters. For a North American window (30x19), DSS has 12-hourly data of several surface parameters and 500mb heights and monthly 10-year climatologies created from the aforementioned data.

Access Constraints Data are expected to be available from the GSFC Earth Sciences (GES)
Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) about one year after
launch. The DAAC Science Team will provide regular updates regarding
data product releases in the future.
