WCRP CMIP5: Nonhydrostatic Icosahedral Atmospheric Model (NI CAM) Group NICAM-09 model output for the aqua4xCO2 experiment
Abstract
WCRP CMIP5: Nonhydrostatic Icosahedral Atmospheric Model (NI CAM) Group NICAM-09 model output for the 4xCO2 aqua planet (aqua4xCO2) experiment. These data cover the following realm: 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).
