Abstract

WCRP CMIP5: Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) GFDL-CM3 model output for the AMIP (amip) experiment. These data cover the following realm: atmos; at the following frequencies: day and mon. The runs included the ensemble members: r1i1p1, r2i1p1, r3i1p1, r4i1p1 and r5i1p1.

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).
