Brief description
The CSIRO archive of the Hydro Tasmania Regional Climate Model simulation dataset for the Australasia region for the years 1961-2100. Created with the CSIRO CCAM (Cubic Conformal Amostpheric Model) RCM (Regional Climate Model) by dynamically downscaling the CSIRO MK3.0 Global Climate Model output to 60 km resolution over a target area centered over Australasia. Three runs of CCAM were conducted for this project with CCAM nested in NCEPG (global nudging 1961-200), NCEPF (far field nudging 1961-2000) and also in the CSIRO Mk3.0 A2 Global Climate Model (refer to uk1 control run). 2X - Daily and Monthly mean atmospheric variables are available between Lat: 0, -50 & Lon: 100, 190 at 18 levels (1000, 850, 700, 500, 300 hPa) with .5º (60km) resolution. There are 1683 daily files totaling 545 GB, and 306 monthly_mean files totaling 15.7 GB. All files are in netcdf format and are available for internal use and analysis by CSIRO staff on the HPSC cherax.Lineage
Progress Code: completed
