IPCC-DDC_CCCma_CGCM2_SRES_B2: 201 YEARS MONTHLY MEANS Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis Canada

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 atmospheric component AGCM2 is a spectral model with

triangular truncation at wave no. 32 and 10 vertical levels.

The ocean model component based on the GFDL MOM 1.1 code

with 29 vertical levels and has a iospycnal / eddy stirring

parameterization (Gent and McWilliams,1990).

CGCM2 (http://ec.gc.ca/ccmac-cccma/default.asp?lang=En&n=40D6024E-1 ).

The changes of anthropogenic emissions of CO2, CH4, N2O and sulphur

dioxide are prescribed according to the above mentioned scenario.

These data belongs to a set of three ensemble runs, with the

CCCma-model, using the SRES_B2 scenario. They provide monthly

averaged values of selected variables for the IPCC-DDC.
