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.
