Abstract

WCRP CMIP5: Met Office Hadley Centre (MOHC) HadGEM2-A model output for the AMIP (amip) experiment. These data cover the following realms: aerosol, atmos, land and landIce; at the following frequencies: 3hr, 6hr, day, fx, mon and subhr. The runs included the ensemble members: r0i0p0, r1i1p1, r1i2p1, r2i3p1, r3i2p1, r4i3p1 and r5i3p1.

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).
