CSIRO-Mk3-6-0 model output prepared for CMIP5 historicalMisc, served by ESGF

Project: IPCC Assessment Report 5 and Coupled Model Intercomparison Project data sets - These data belong to two projects: 1) to the Assessment Report No 5 of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC-AR5) and 2) to the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project No 5 (CMIP5). CMIP5 is executed by the Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI) on behalf of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). Most of the data is replicated between the three data nodes at the World Data Centre for Climate (WDCC), the British Atmospheric Data Centre (BADC), and the PCMDI. The project embraces the simulations with about 30 climate models of about 20 institutes worldwide. Summary: historicalMisc is an experiment of the CMIP5 - Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 ( https://pcmdi.llnl.gov/mips/cmip5 ). CMIP5 is meant to provide a framework for coordinated climate change experiments for the next five years and thus includes simulations for assessment in the AR5 as well as others that extend beyond the AR5. Experiment design: https://pcmdi.llnl.gov/mips/cmip5/experiment_design.html List of output variables: https://pcmdi.llnl.gov/mips/cmip5/datadescription.html Output: time series per variable in model grid spatial resolution in netCDF format Earth System model and the simulation information: CIM repository Entry name/title of data are specified according to the Data Reference Syntax ( https://pcmdi.llnl.gov/mips/cmip5/docs/cmip5_data_reference_syntax.pdf ) as activity/product/institute/model/experiment/frequency/modeling realm/MIP table/ensemble member/version number/variable name/CMOR filename.nc . Used forcings in individual ensemble runs (see attached addinfo for more information): r[1-5]i1p1 - Ant: anthropogenic forcing (AA anthropogenic aerosols - a mixture of aerosols, not explicitly defined here; Oz - tropospheric and stratospheric ozone; GHG - well-mixed greenhouse gases, a mixture, not explicitly defined here); r[1-5]i1p2 - NoOz: all forcings except tropospheric and stratospheric ozone concentrations fixed; r[1-5]i1p3 - NoAA: all forcings except anthropogenic aerosols (AA) and the indirect effect of AA on snow albedo; r[1-5]i1p4 - AA: anthropogenic aerosols (AA) including the indirect effect of AA on snow albedo; r[1-5]i1p5 - AntNoAA: the same as NoAA (AA is fixed at preindustrial levels), except that AA emissions are allowed to vary in the Asian region [10S to 45N x 65E to 150E]; r[1-5]i1p6 - VI: volcanic forcing only.
