Summary
These data represent monthly averaged values (monthly mean (MM) and diurnal cycle (DC)) 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 IPCC Fourth Assessment climate of the 1%year CO2 increase experiment (to doubling).

The simulation is initialized in the same year as experiment 20C_1, with an annual CO2 increase of 1% until doubling in 1930. Between 1931 and 2080 the CO2 concentration was held constant. All other concentrations remain at their preindustrial levels (nominally year 1860).

These datasets are available in netCDF format.
The dataset names are composed of
- centre/model acronym (e.g. IPCM4: Institut Pierre Simon Laplace)
- scenario acronym (e.g. SRA2: SRES A2)
- run number (e.g. 1: run 1)
- time interval (MM:monthly mean, DM:daily mean, DC:diurnal cycle, 6H:6 hourly, 12h:12hourly)
- variable acronym [with level value] (e.g. hur850: relative humidity, 850 hPa)
--> example: IPCM4_SRA2_1_MM_hur850

For this experiment 1 ensemble run was carried out.
