The SRES data sets were published by the IPCC in 2000 and classified
into four different scenario families (A1, A2, B1, B2).
SRES_B2 storyline describes a world in which the emphasis is on
local solutions to economic, social and enviromental sustainability.
The global population is increasing at a lower rate than A2. It has
an intermediate level of economic development and a less rapid and
more diverse technological change than in A1 and B1.
The atmospheric component AGCM2 is a spectral model with
triangular truncation at wave no. 32 and 10 vertical levels.
The ocean model component based on the GFDL MOM 1.1 code
with 29 vertical levels and has a iospycnal / eddy stirring
parameterization (Gent and McWilliams,1990).
CGCM2 (http://ec.gc.ca/ccmac-cccma/default.asp?lang=En&n=40D6024E-1 ).
The changes of anthropogenic emissions of CO2, CH4, N2O and sulphur
dioxide are prescribed according to the above mentioned scenario.
These data belongs to a set of three ensemble runs, with the
CCCma-model, using the SRES_B2 scenario. They provide monthly
averaged values of selected variables for the IPCC-DDC.
