Summary
The 1992 UKTR 75-year transient experiment includes a control run with CO2 set at 323 ppm at 96x72 global resolution. We received 10-year climatologies of soil moisture, precipitation, surface temperature, and surface solar radiation for decades 1, 6, and 8.

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
