Marine and Tropical Sciences Research Facility - CCAM regional climate model dataset, North Eastern Australia 2050-2090

Regional Climate Model simulation dataset for North Eastern Australia for the years 2050-2090. Created with the CSIRO CCAM (Cubic Conformal Amostpheric Model 707) RCM (Regional Climate Model) by dynamically downscaling CSIRO Mk3 Global Climate Model output to 15 km resolution over a target area centred on 17S, 145E for the Marine and Tropical Science Research Facility (MTSRF) project. 40 years of Mk3 output was used as the host model (nested in MK3.0), with greenhouse emissions corresponding to scenario SRESA2. Daily and Monthly Atmospheric variables are available between Lat:-20N -10N(.1 deg res) & Lon:140E 150E(.1 deg res), at 5 levels (1000, 850, 700, 500, 300 hPa), 15Km resolution(C48 grid) & 18 vertical levels. There are 570 Daily files totalling 102.0GB, 480 Monthly_mean files totalling 3.44GB and 480 Raw cubic conformal model output files totaling 100.0GB with all being in netcdf format. This dataset formed the basis for a report for the MTSRF [Dynamically downscaled Mk3.0 climate projection for the Marine and Tropical Sciences Research Facility (MTSRF) from 2060-2090 Marcus Thatcher and John McGregor 28 February 2008] on climate projection over the tropical rainforest region of northern Queensland (assuming an A2 emission scenario IPCC, 2007), and its effects on max/min temperature and precipitation during the four seasons. Available for internal use and analysis by CSIRO staff on the HPSC cherax.

2050-2090年澳大利亚东北部区域气候模式模拟数据集。本数据集由澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, CSIRO）的三次共形大气模式707（Cubic Conformal Atmospheric Model 707, CCAM）区域气候模式（Regional Climate Model, RCM）构建完成：针对海洋与热带科学研究设施（Marine and Tropical Science Research Facility, MTSRF）项目，通过动力降尺度方法，将CSIRO Mk3全球气候模式的输出结果在以17°S、145°E为中心的目标区域内分辨率提升至15公里。本数据集采用嵌套于MK3.0的CSIRO Mk3模式40年模拟结果作为母驱动场，温室气体排放情景对应SRESA2情景。数据集提供逐日与逐月大气变量，空间覆盖范围为纬度-20°S ~ -10°S（分辨率0.1°）、经度140°E ~ 150°E（分辨率0.1°），包含5个气压层（1000、850、700、500、300 hPa），空间分辨率为15公里（采用C48网格），垂直方向共18层。数据集包含570个逐日数据文件（总容量102.0GB）、480个逐月平均数据文件（总容量3.44GB）以及480个原始三次共形模式输出文件（总容量100.0GB），所有文件均采用netCDF格式存储。本数据集为MTSRF的一份核心报告提供了数据支撑：该报告题为《2060-2090年针对海洋与热带科学研究设施的Mk3.0动力降尺度气候预测》（作者Marcus Thatcher与John McGregor，2008年2月28日），针对昆士兰州北部热带雨林区域，基于政府间气候变化专门委员会（Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC）2007年发布的A2排放情景，分析了气候预测结果对该区域四季极端最高、最低气温与降水的影响。本数据集仅供CSIRO员工在HPSC cherax高性能计算集群上进行内部使用与分析。
