IPCC-DDC_CSIRO_SRES_B1: 140 YEARS MONTHLY MEANS Commenwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation Australia

Name: IPCC-DDC_CSIRO_SRES_B1: 140 YEARS MONTHLY MEANS Commenwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation Australia
Acronym: CSIRO_SRES_B1
Project: IPCC-DDC_TAR (IPCC Data Distribution Centre : Third Assessment Report data sets)
Summary: The SRES data sets were published by the IPCC in 2000 and classified
into four different scenario families (A1, A2, B1, B2).
SRES_B1 storyline describes a global population similar to
A1 but with rapid change in economic structure toward a
service and information economy, with reduction in material
intensity and the introduction of clean and resource efficient
technologies.
The Mark 2 CSIRO coupled global climate model consists of the
atmospheric component which has 9 vertical levels with a R21
horizontal resolution and the ocean component which was based
on the GFDL code.
M2CSIRO (http://www.cmar.csiro.au/e-print/open/hennessy_1998a.html#ccm )
The changes of anthropogenic emissions of CO2, CH4, N2O and
sulphur dioxide are prescribed according to the above mentioned
scenario.

Accuracy report: Due to an error in the model specifications provided to the IPCC DDC for all CSIRO
SRES runs, the labels for model skin temperatures and model air temperatures were reversed.
was applied immediately.
As a consequence (air) temperature data sets retrieved from the archive prior to
end of September 2002 will contain the skin temperature data instead of the air
temperature.
The results based on these data will be erroneous.
Quality control of data sets for data publication (www.std-doi.de):
1)Control of timeseries:
-creation of minimum, maximum timeseries plots of every record 06.05.04
-control of timeseries 06.05.04
2)Control of 2D-plot samples:
-timestep(s) or record(s): jan/jul 2001
-topic(s): PREC, WIND10, TMP, MSLP, DSWF
Comments see quality entrys of the data sets
Completeness report: complete
All records accessible. Checked for data publication (www.std-doi.de) 06.05.04
Consistency report: consistent as the model is (Mark2 CSIRO CGM)
Horizontal accuracy: exact
Vertical accuracy: exact
