IPCC-DDC FAR GISS EQUILIBRIUM RUN not filled, 2008: IPCC-DDC FAR GISS EQUILIBRIUM RUN. World Data Center for Climate. CERA-DB "IPCC-DDC_FAR_GISS_EQUI" http://cera-www.dkrz.de/WDCC/ui/Compact.jsp?acronym=IPCC-DDC_FAR_GISS_EQUI 2008-09-08 This dataset contains outputs from climate models at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) for use in assessing the impact of increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations on the global climate. A global equilibrium run (1XCO2 and 2XCO2) was made in 1984. Monthly means and 10-year monthly, seasonal, and annual climatologies are available for numerous parameters. Most parameters are only available at the surface. There were also made a 100-year transient run and GISS "Scenario A" and "Scenario B" runs sometime in the mid-1980s. Parameter and format informations are given in the additional informations.

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
