Project: IPCC Third Assessment Report ECHAM4/OPYC data sets
The project embrases the simulations with the coupled climate model ECHAM4/OPYC, relevant for the third assessment report (TAR, http://www.ipcc.ch/ipccreports/assessments-reports.htm) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).The IPCC has been established by WMO and UNEP to assess scientific, technical and socio-economic information, relevant for the understanding of climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaption and mitigation.
A more detailed description about the work of the IPCC can be found at the IPCC homepage ( http://www.ipcc.ch ) and at ( www.grida.no/climate/ipcc ). As a further development the Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES, http://www.grida.no/Climate/ipcc/emission/) have been constructed, to describe (potential) future developments in the global enviroment with special reference to the production of greenhouse gases and aerosol precursor emissions.
A set of four scenarios families (A1, A2, B1, B2) have been developed (see also http://www.grida.no/climate/ipcc/emission/index.htm ) The model output data are available at the World Data Center for Climate, Hamburg.( wdc-climate.de ). Projection of future trends based on selected emission scenarios are provided through this project for a great many model variables of ECHAM4/OPYC.
For a selected set of variables the IDCC-Data Distribution Center provides additional data sets from a multitude of models that contribute to the IPCC-TAR report (project: IPCC_DDC_TAR).
Summary: IPCC-AR3 LUGANO T106 TIME-SLICE INTEGRATION 2*CO2 of Deutsches Klimarechenzentrum Based on the greenhouse gas experiment (GHG) which used the modified scenario IS92a ("IS95a"), two 10 year periods were re-calculated with the higher horizontal resolution (appr. 110 km grid spacing) version (T106) of the ECHAM4 model. The stand-alone atmosphere model was used. The integrations were performed with transient forcing while the results were corrected by the model drift. The drift has been determined from the corresponding control run periods. SSTs have been taken from the Experiment EH4OPYC_22670GHG_MM and the AMIP climatology: SST_NEW(m,y)=(SST_CLIM(m)+SST_T42(m,y))*M+TS_T42(m)*(1-M) with m=1,12 and n=1,10 and M=land-sea mask(sea:1, land:0) This experiment contains results from the decade of CO2 equivalent doubling decade 2041-2050 in the IS92A scenario. Trace gas concentrations were hardcoded as 10-years means in the model. These experiments were calculated on a NEC SX4 in the swiss supercomputer center (CSCS) in Mano near Lugano. The data are used for the third assessment report. Model_raw_data location: schauer.dkrz.de://pf/k/k204026/k204004/04101/atm_d
