Climate Futures for Tasmania: output on pressure levels of the 60 km resolution simulation of the Cubic Conformal Atmospheric Model (CCAM) over Tasmania, using the CSIRO Mk3.5 model and the IPCC B1 scenario

Output of downscaling the CSIRO Mk3.5 General Circulation Model (GCM) simulation with the B1 SRES emissions scenario using the Cubic Conformal Atmospheric Model (CCAM). The configuration of CCAM being used is a 64x64 cells per face, with the high resolution face centered over Australia. The model takes the sea surface temperatures output from the CSIRO Mk3.5 GCM as boundary conditions into CCAM. This configuration provides an approximate resolution of 60km in the high resolution face.
Output on pressure levels for a region covering the Australian continent, Tasman Sea and Southern Ocean.
Data is output 6 hourly and includes all CCAM variables among which: air temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, runoff, soil moisture, cloud coverage, radiation, evaporation and wind speed. The modelling output covers the time period 01/01/1961 up to 31/12/2100.
This model simulation was designed to allow downscaling to a high resolution (0.1 degree) version of CCAM centered over Tasmania.
The GCM data used as forcing was downloaded from The Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI).

本数据集为采用三次保角大气模型（Cubic Conformal Atmospheric Model, CCAM），对搭载B1 SRES排放情景的CSIRO Mk3.5大气环流模式（General Circulation Model, GCM）模拟结果进行降尺度后的输出。当前使用的CCAM配置为每个面包含64×64个网格单元，其高分辨率面以澳大利亚为中心。模型以CSIRO Mk3.5 GCM输出的海表温度作为边界条件输入至CCAM，该配置在高分辨率面的近似分辨率为60公里。
数据集输出覆盖澳大利亚大陆、塔斯曼海及南大洋区域的等压层数据。
数据每6小时输出一次，包含CCAM的全部变量，具体包括气温、相对湿度、降水量、径流量、土壤湿度、云量、辐射、蒸发量及风速。本次模拟的输出时间跨度为1961年1月1日至2100年12月31日。
本模型模拟的设计目标是支持以塔斯马尼亚为中心的0.1度高分辨率CCAM版本的降尺度研究。
