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.

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
