ENSEMBLES STREAM2 METO-HC-HADCM3C SRA1B run1, 6 and 12 hourly instantaneous values

Johns, Tim C.

Experiment
Summary
These data represent 6 and 12 hourly instantaneous values of selected variables for
ENSEMBLES (http://www.ensembles-eu.org). The list of output variables can be found in:
http://ensembles.wdc-climate.de/output-variables. The model output was prepared for
the ENSEMBLES Stream 2 experiment and comprises the HadCM3C run aebae (1/12/1999-1/01/2100).
The model was initialised from the HadCM3C 20C3M run 1 using 1999 conditions.
Although the model contains an interactive land/ocean carbon cycle, anthropogenic forcings
(only) were prescribed to follow A1B scenario concentration values rather than emissions,
i.e. prescribed changes in concentrations of: CO2, CH4, N2O, CFC11, CFC12, CFC113, HCFC22,
Ozone. Sulphur-cycle emissions also provide a forcing input.
No variations were made to solar radiation and volcanic aerosols. The output
datasets are available in netCDF format. The dataset names are composed of -
centre/model acronym (METO-HC) - scenario acronym (e.g. SRA2: SRES A2) -
run number (e.g. 1: run 1) - time interval (MM:monthly mean, DM:daily mean,
DC:diurnal cycle, 6H:6 hourly, 12h:12hourly) - variable acronym [with level
value] (e.g. hur850: relative humidity, 850 hPa) --> example:
METO-HC_20C3M_1_12H_hur850.
