The experiment includes the latest CMIP5 data of CSIRO for January 2015. The data is a newer version of the IPCC DDC AR5 data of CSIRO.

                'historical' is an experiment of the CMIP5 - Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5
                (https://pcmdi.llnl.gov/mips/cmip5). CMIP5 is meant to provide a framework for coordinated
                climate change experiments for the next five years and thus includes simulations for
                assessment in the AR5 as well as others that extend beyond the AR5.

                3.2 historical (3.2 Historical) - Version 1: Simulation of recent past (1850 to 2005). Impose changing conditions (consistent with observations).
