Climate Futures for Tasmania: output on pressure levels of the 60 km resolution simulation of the Cubic Conformal Atmospheric Model (CCAM) over Tasmania, using the CSIRO Mk3.5 (F35 run) model and the IPCC A2 scenario

Output of downscaling the CSIRO Mk3.5 (F35 run) General Circulation Model (GCM) simulation with the A2 SRES emissions scenario using the Cubic Conformal Atmospheric Model (CCAM). The configuration of CCAM being used is a 64x64 cells per face, with the high resolution face centered over Australia. Th...

Description
Summary:Output of downscaling the CSIRO Mk3.5 (F35 run) General Circulation Model (GCM) simulation with the A2 SRES emissions scenario using the Cubic Conformal Atmospheric Model (CCAM). The configuration of CCAM being used is a 64x64 cells per face, with the high resolution face centered over Australia. The model takes the sea surface temperatures output from the CSIRO Mk3.5 (F35 run) GCM as boundary conditions into CCAM. This configuration provides an approximate resolution of 60km in the high resolution face. Output on pressure levels for a region covering the Australian continent, Tasman Sea and Southern Ocean. Data is output 6 hourly and includes all CCAM variables among which: air temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, runoff, soil moisture, cloud coverage, radiation, evaporation and wind speed. The modelling output covers the time period 01/01/1961 up to 31/12/2100. This model simulation was designed to allow downscaling to a high resolution (0.1 degree) version of CCAM centered over Tasmania. The GCM data used as forcing was downloaded from The Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI).
