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 UKHadCM 3 model and the IPCC A2 scenario

Output of downscaling the UKHadCM 3 General Circulation Model (GCM) simulation with the A2 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 UKHadCM 3 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).
