Brief description
Regional Climate Model simulation dataset for North Eastern Australia for the years 2050-2090. Created with the CSIRO CCAM (Cubic Conformal Amostpheric Model 707) RCM (Regional Climate Model) by dynamically downscaling CSIRO Mk3 Global Climate Model output to 15 km resolution over a target area centred on 17S, 145E for the Marine and Tropical Science Research Facility (MTSRF) project. 40 years of Mk3 output was used as the host model (nested in MK3.0), with greenhouse emissions corresponding to scenario SRESA2. Daily and Monthly Atmospheric variables are available between Lat:-20N -10N(.1 deg res) & Lon:140E 150E(.1 deg res), at 5 levels (1000, 850, 700, 500, 300 hPa), 15Km resolution(C48 grid) & 18 vertical levels. There are 570 Daily files totalling 102.0GB, 480 Monthly_mean files totalling 3.44GB and 480 Raw cubic conformal model output files totaling 100.0GB with all being in netcdf format. This dataset formed the basis for a report for the MTSRF [Dynamically downscaled Mk3.0 climate projection for the Marine and Tropical Sciences Research Facility (MTSRF) from 2060-2090 Marcus Thatcher and John McGregor 28 February 2008] on climate projection over the tropical rainforest region of northern Queensland (assuming an A2 emission scenario IPCC, 2007), and its effects on max/min temperature and precipitation during the four seasons. Available for internal use and analysis by CSIRO staff on the HPSC cherax.Lineage
Progress Code: planned
Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded
Statement: Daily & Monthly atmospheric variables on a conventional Lat Lon grid processed from the CCAM model cubic conformal raw output data files.
