IPCC-DDC_HADCM3_SRES_B2: 150 YEARS MONTHLY MEANS Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research - UK Met Office

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 Hadley Centre Circulation Model is a 3-dim AOGCM described

by (Gordon et al.,2000 and Pope et al.,2000).

The atmospheric component has a 19 levels horizontal resolution,

comparable with spectral resolution of T42, while the ocean

component has a 20 levels resolution.

HADCM3 ( http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/modelling-systems/unified-model/climate-models/hadcm 3 ).

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

dioxide are prescribed according to the above mentioned scenario.
