IPCC-DDC_CSIRO_SRES_B2: 140 YEARS MONTHLY MEANS Commenwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation Australia
The SRES data sets were published by the IPCC in 2000 and classified
into four different scenario families (A1, A2, B1, B2).
SRES_B2 storyline describes a world in which the emphasis is on
local solutions to economic, social and enviromental sustainability.
The global population is increasing at a lower rate than A2. It has
an intermediate level of economic development and a less rapid and
more diverse technological change than in A1 and B1.
The Mark 2 CSIRO coupled global climate model consists of the atmospheric
component which has 9 vertical levels with an R21 horizontal resolution
and the ocean component which was based on the GFDL code.
M2CSIRO ( http://www.cmar.csiro.au/e-print/open/hennessy_1998a.html#ccm )
The changes of anthropogenic emissions of CO2, CH4, N2O and sulphur
dioxide are prescribed according to the above mentioned scenario.

- Attribute description
- air_pressure_at_sea_level
- Descriptor
-
sea_level means mean sea level, which is close to the geoid in sea areas. Air pressure at sea level is the quantity often abbreviated as MSLP or PMSL.[CF-Standard Name]; unit: Pa
- Attribute description
- surface_downwelling_shortwave_flux_in_air
- Descriptor
-
surface_downwelling_shortwave_flux_in_air [CF-Standard Name]; unit: W m-2
- Attribute description
- air_temperature-atNearSurface (minimum)
- Descriptor
-
Air temperature is the bulk temperature of the air, not the surface (skin) temperature. (minimum) [CF-Standard Name-vertical_coordinate-cell_method]; unit: K
- Attribute description
- y_wind
- Descriptor
-
"y" indicates a vector component along the grid y-axis, when this is not true latitude, positive with increasing y. Wind is defined as a two-dimensional (horizontal) air velocity vector, with no vertical component. (Vertical motion in the atmosphere has the standard name upward_air_velocity.)[CF-Standard Name]; unit: m s-1
- Attribute description
- air_temperature-atNearSurface (maximum)
- Descriptor
-
Air temperature is the bulk temperature of the air, not the surface (skin) temperature. (maximum) [CF-Standard Name-vertical_coordinate-cell_method]; unit: K
- Attribute description
- surface_temperature
- Descriptor
-
The surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere. The surface temperature is the (skin) temperature at the interface, not the bulk temperature of the medium above or below. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: K
- Attribute description
- air_temperature
- Descriptor
-
Air temperature is the bulk temperature of the air, not the surface (skin) temperature. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: K
- Attribute description
- wind_speed-at10m
- Descriptor
-
Speed is the magnitude of velocity. Wind is defined as a two-dimensional (horizontal) air velocity vector, with no vertical component. (Vertical motion in the atmosphere has the standard name upward_air_velocity.) The wind speed is the magnitude of the wind velocity. [CF-Standard Name-vertical_coordinate]; unit: m s-1

-
snowfall_amount [CF-Standard Name]; unit: kg m-2
- Attribute description
- x_wind
- Descriptor
-
"x" indicates a vector component along the grid x-axis, when this is not true longitude, positive with increasing x. Wind is defined as a two-dimensional (horizontal) air velocity vector, with no vertical component. (Vertical motion in the atmosphere has the standard name upward_air_velocity.)[CF-Standard Name]; unit: m s-1

- Attribute description
- air_temperature-atNearSurface
- Descriptor
-
Air temperature is the bulk temperature of the air, not the surface (skin) temperature. [CF-Standard Name-vertical_coordinate]; unit: K
- Attribute description
- lwe_convective_precipitation_rate
- Descriptor
-
"lwe" means liquid water equivalent. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: mm d-1
- Attribute description
- soil_moisture_content
- Descriptor
-
"moisture" means water in all phases contained in soil. "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. The "soil content" of a quantity refers to the vertical integral from the surface down to the bottom of the soil model. For the content between specified levels in the soil, standard names including content_of_soil_layer are used. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: m
- Attribute description
- convective_precipitation_rate
- Descriptor
-
"Precipitation rate" means the depth or thickness of the layer formed by precipitation per unit time. Convective precipitation is that produced by the convection schemes in an atmosphere model. "Precipitation" in the earth's atmosphere means precipitation of water in all phases. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: mm d-1
