Various global climate model runs at several institutions were made
in the 1980s to assess the impact of increasing levels of
atmospheric CO2 on the global climate. The Data Support Section at
NCAR assembled and/or computed the 10-year monthly climatologies
from the outputs of these runs and made them available in a common
ASCII exchange format. The standard parameters that were provided by
all of the models are surface temperature, wind speed,
precipitation, humidity, incoming solar radiation, and pressure
(sea-level or surface). Other parameters were provided and they
varied depending on the individual model. These models also provided
outputs in various timesteps other than decadal means, and those
outputs are archived by institution in the ds318.1 through ds318.5
series of datasets.
