Abstract:
The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) Global Climate Model (GCM) 100 year run can be found here: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/ol/climate/online/gcm.html .
The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) Global Climate Model (GCM) 1000 year run home page on the WWW is http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/ol/climate/online/gcm1000.html .
GFDL 100 YEAR RUN -----------------
The GCM files are from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory GCM. There are two simulations available, one is a control run with CO2 fixed, and the other is a transient run with equivalent CO2 initialized at the 1958 amount and increased approximately 1% each year thereafter. Both runs are 100 years long, with monthly resolution. The grid resolution is 48x40 on a gaussian grid.
In addition, software provided can be used to extract values for the grid points. The files are in IEEE format so some form of the accompanying program must be used to convert to ASCII.
The 100 year dataset contains the following files:
The GCM files are from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory GCM. The 1000 year GCM run is a control run for temperature with CO2 fixed. The time resolution is monthly and the grid resolution is 48x40 on a gaussian grid.
In addition, software provided can be used to extract values for the grid points. The files are in IEEE format so some form of the accompanying program must be used to convert to ASCII.
The 1000 year dataset contains the following files:
+ readme - GCM information and software for IEEE to ASCII conversion. (3 K) + gcm.elevations - (25 K) + gcm.land_sea_mask - (25 K) + v29.1.1000 - (92.9 meg.)
