hasSummary |
-
This dataset includes global bias-corrected climate model output
data from version 1 of NCAR's Community Earth System Model (CESM1)
that participated in phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison
Experiment (CMIP5), which supported the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change Fifth Assessment Report (IPCC AR5). The dataset
contains all the variables needed for the initial and boundary
conditions for simulations with the Weather Research and Forecasting
model (WRF) or the Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS),
provided in the Intermediate File Format specific to WRF and MPAS.
The data are interpolated to 26 pressure levels and are provided in
files at six hourly intervals. The variables have been
bias-corrected using the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather
Forecasts (ECMWF) Interim Reanalysis (ERA-Interim) fields for
1981-2005, following the method in Bruyere et al. (2014)
[http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00382-013-2011-6]. Files are available
for a 20th Century simulation (1951-2005) and three concomitant
Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) future scenarios (RCP4.5,
RCP6.0 and RCP8.5) spanning 2006-2100.
NOTE: There are no bias-corrected data for RCP2.6, due to corrupted
data caused by a model bug in CESM.
Note to Microsoft Windows users: The executable metgrid.exe, which
is required to ingest this data into WPS/WRF, is not compatible with
Windows and can only be run in a Linux environment. It is
recommended, therefore, that this dataset be used in Linux
environments only.
