WCRP CMIP5: Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) GFDL-CM3 model output for the amip4xCO2 experiment
Abstract
WCRP CMIP5: Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) GFDL-CM3 model output for the amip4xCO2 experiment. These data cover the following realms: aerosol and atmos; at the following frequency: mon. The runs included the ensemble member: 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).
