Abstract

WCRP CMIP5: Met Office Hadley Centre (MOHC) HadGEM2-A model output for the 4xCO2 aqua planet (aqua4xCO2) experiment. These data cover the following realm: atmos; at the following frequencies: day, fx, mon and subhr. The runs included the ensemble members: r0i0p0 and r1i1p1.

The WCRP Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, Phase 5 (CMIP5), was a global climate model intercomparison project, coordinated by PCMDI (Program For Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison) on behalf of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) and provided input for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
