Dataset Portal

The CCIS Dataset Portal provides a space for the exchange of available CCIS datasets in the research community. Modeling and observational datasets are sorted via specific categories, to come soon. Principle Investigators are encouraged to add their datasets to this websites. Please contact Simone Tilmes (tilmes@ucar.edu) for more information.

Model/models:
CESM Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM)

CLM4.5-BGC (Land), POP2 (ocean), CICE4 (sea ice).
Scenario:
Baseline: RCP8.5

SAI Temperature Targets: 2020 conditions, using three temperature targets
Simulations:
Baseline: 20 ensemble members from 2010-2030;

3 ensemble members from 2030-2099;

SAI: 20 ensemble members from 2020-2099.
Purpose:
The results of these simulations can be used to identify robust regional and seasonal climate change, extremes, and variability as the result of strategically performed geoengineering and to identify reasonable limits of stratospheric aerosol engineering.
Fields:
Monthly, 10-day, daily, and 6-hourly output of atmospheric variables, ocean, ice, land, input for crop models

Model/models:
CESM2 Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM)

CLM5.0-BGC (Land), POP2 (ocean), CICE4 (sea ice).
Scenario:
Baseline: SSP5-85 and SSP5-34-OS

SAI Temperature Targets: 2020 (1.5C above 1800-1850), and 2034 (2.0C above 1800-1850)
Simulations:
Baseline: 3 ensemble members each:

SSP5-85 2020-2100, SSP5-34-OS 2034-2100;

SAI: 3 ensemble members Geo-SSP5-85 1.5C, Geo-SSP5-34 1.5C, Geo-SSP5-34 2.0C.
Purpose:
The results of these simulations can be used to identify robust regional and seasonal climate change, extremes, and variability as the result of strategically performed geoengineering. The simulations allow to contrast a high forcing scenario with a Peakshaving scenario and identify differences in particular in the second half of the 21st century.
