UK Climate Model Outputs for Carbon Dioxide Studies

Entry ID: NCAR_DS318.2

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This dataset contains model outputs from climate models that were run by the UK Met Office in 1986, 1990, and 1992. The 1986 UKLO equilibrium runs include a control (1xCO2) run and a 2xCO2 run, both at 48x36 global resolution. We received monthly 15-year climatologies of maximum, minimum, and mean surface temperature, surface wind speed, ...
