CSIRO Dawn to 2100 SRESA2 tos - GCM Sea surface temperature datasets and trends 1850 to 2100 using the SRESA2 Scenario

The CSIRO Dawn-2100 archive contains datasets for atmospheric, land and oceanographic variables for the approximate period 1850 - 2100 (dependent on model). These have been created through the concatenation of 20th century (20C3M) and other scenario (currently SRESA1B or SRESA2) data from a number of the 25 differant global climate models (GCM) from various countries. The SRESA2_tos dataset contains the Sea surface temperature variable for various GCM's and runs (multiple runs being averaged to a single file if existing) under the scenario SRESA2 emissions 2001 to 2100. These variables have also been further analysed to give monthly, seasonal and annual trend data, calculated from a monthly timeseries referenced to the area-weighted mean global warming values. 11 GCM models are available with data for variables being in 12 month, annual and 4 seasons(DJF, MAM,JJA,SON) format with 22 files totaling 6.26 GB as Netcdf files. Available for internal use and analysis by CSIRO staff on the HPSC cherax.
