GFDL 100
... YEAR RUN
-----------------
The GCM files are from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory GCM.
There are two simulations available, one is a control run with CO2
fixed, and the other is a transient run with equivalent CO2
initialized at the 1958 amount and increased approximately 1% each
year thereafter. Both runs are 100 years long, with monthly
resolution. The grid resolution is 48x40 on a gaussian grid.
In addition, software provided can be used to extract values for the
grid points. The files are in IEEE format so some form of the
accompanying program must be used to convert to ASCII.
The 100 year dataset contains the following files:
+ readme - GCM information and software for IEEE to ASCII
conversion. (3 K)
+ gcm.atm_control.precip - (9.3 meg.)
+ gcm.atm_control.temp_t9 - (9.3 meg.)
+ gcm.atm_oneper.precip - (9.3 meg.)
+ gcm.atm_oneper.temp_t9 - (9.3 meg.)
+ gcm.elevations - (25 K)
+ gcm.land_sea_mask - (25 K)
GFDL 1000 YEAR RUN
------------------
The GCM files are from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory
GCM. The 1000 year GCM run is a control run for temperature with CO2
fixed. The time resolution is monthly and the grid resolution is 48x40
on a gaussian grid.
In addition, software provided can be used to extract values for the
grid points. The files are in IEEE format so some form of the
accompanying program must be used to convert to ASCII.
The 1000 year dataset contains the following files:
+ readme - GCM information and software for IEEE to ASCII
conversion. (3 K)
+ gcm.elevations - (25 K)
+ gcm.land_sea_mask - (25 K)
+ v29.1.1000 - (92.9 meg.)
