Summary
These data represent daily values (daily mean, instantaneous daily output) of selected variables for ENSEMBLES (http://www.ensembles-eu.org). The list of output variables can be found in: http://ensembles.wdc-climate.de/output-variables

The model output was prepared for the ENSEMBLES Stream 2 experiment.
The model was initialised from the HadGEM2-AO preindustrial control run with fixed 1860 forcing conditions after 568 years.
Anthropogenic forcings (only) were changed through the run to follow observed values. i.e changes in: CO2, CH4, N2O, CFC11, CFC12, CFC113, HCFC22, Ozone, Vegetation Distribution, Sulphur-cycle Emissions, Soot Emissions, Biomass Emissions. No variations were made to solar radiation and volcanic aerosols. Most of the forcings were identical to the equivalent HadGEM1 20C3M run with the exception of the vegetation distribution which was modified to reflect the commonly-agreed method for including forcing from anthropogenic land use change in ENSEMBLES Stream 2 simulations, in this case using Nathalie de Noblet's maps of historical crop and pasture extent derived from published reconstructions of crop/pasture land use change from 1700-present.

These datasets are available in netCDF format.
The dataset names are composed of
- centre/model acronym (e.g. METO-HC_HadGEM2AO, for acronym:HADGEM2)
- scenario acronym (e.g. SRA1B: SRES A1B)
- run number (e.g. 1: run 1)
- time interval (MM:monthly mean, DM:daily mean, D0:daily instantaneous at 0 UTC,6H:6 hourly, 12h:12 hourly)
- variable acronym [with level value] (e.g. hur850: relative humidity, 850 hPa)
--> example: HADGEM2_20C3M_1_6H_hur850

For this experiment 1 ensemble run was carried out.
