IPCC-AR6_CMIP6 Regional Subset North America

These data include a subset of the CMIP6 input data assessed by the IPCC AR6 WGI authors for region North America (170°W – 45°W, 5°N – 85°N). Included are 12 core variables (orog, sftlf, sftgif, psl, tas, tasmin, tasmax, uas, vas, huss, pr, rsds) of the experiments historical, ssp126, ssp245, ssp370, and ssp585 for models providing more than 5 of these variables.


Further details are provided in the additional information "IPCC AR6 Data for Regions".

Attribute description
air_pressure_at_mean_sea_level
Descriptor

Air pressure at sea level is the quantity often abbreviated as MSLP or PMSL. Air pressure is the force per unit area which would be exerted when the moving gas molecules of which the air is composed strike a theoretical surface of any orientation. "Mean sea level" means the time mean of sea surface elevation at a given location over an arbitrary period sufficient to eliminate the tidal signals. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: Pa
Attribute description
air_temperature
Descriptor

Air temperature is the bulk temperature of the air, not the surface (skin) temperature. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: K

In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: kg m-2 s-1
Attribute description
eastward_wind
Descriptor

"Eastward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed eastward (negative westward). 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
