Summary
This experiment contains model outputs from climate models at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL). This model run was made in 1989. The model was an atmosphere-ocean coupled model, run at R15 (48x40) global resolution. 1xCO2 run was made and values for numerous variables were output. DSS has decadal means for up to 100 model years, as well as daily values and monthly and seasonal means for shorter periods.

Project
IPCC Data Distribution Centre : First Assessment Report data sets (IPCC-DDC_FAR)
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (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 option for
adaption and migration. Projection of future trends for a number of key variables
are provided through this section of the DDC (
http://cera-www.dkrz.de/IPCC_DDC/index.html).
This roject contains data sets from climate simulations with general circulation model.
These calculations are using different forcing scenarios based on emmision scenarios for
greenhouse gas and aerosols.
_
This information contained in either IS92 emission scenarios (IPCC 1992) or published
model studies using data from these scenarios. Six alternative IPCC scenarios (IS92a to f)
were published in the 1992 Supplementary Report to the IPCC Assessment.
These scenarios embodied a wide array of assumption affecting how future greenhouse gas
emissions might evolve in the absence of climate policies beyond those already adoped.
Model experiments, also using different forcing scenarios, were calculated at other
modeling centres. Leggett, J., W.J. Pepper and R.J. Swart, 1992: Emissio
