IPCC-DDC_CCCma_CGCM2_SRES_A2: 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_A2 storyline describes a very heterogeneous world

with the underlying theme of self-reliance and preservation

of local identities. It results in this scenario a continous

increasing population together with a slower economic growth

and technological change.

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 isopycnal / 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_A2 scenario. They provide monthly

averaged values of selected variables for the IPCC-DDC.
