2100-12-01 marks the last update for this climate model simulation ensemble from the Hadley Centre. The dataset contains results from the Hadley Centre Coupled Model Version 3, which was used as input for the IPCC Third Assessment Report. It represents an all-anthropogenic forcings ensemble with greenhouse gas, sulfate aerosol, and ozone forcing.
Use Cases
- Analyze climate response to SRESB2-like greenhouse gas forcing variations across the simulation ensemble.
- Study the impact of sulfate aerosol direct and indirect forcing via calibrated delta-albedo outputs.
- Model tropospheric and stratospheric ozone changes driven by specified anthropogenic emissions.
- Compare climate variables under combined anthropogenic forcings against historical baseline simulations.
Strengths
- Model developed by the Hadley Centre and used for the IPCC Third Assessment Report, providing authoritative input.
- Simulation includes multiple, specified anthropogenic forcings: greenhouse gases, sulfate aerosols, and ozone.
Limitations
- Specific temporal coverage, spatial resolution, and ensemble member count are not provided.
- Data format, size, and accessibility details are unknown, which may hinder immediate use.
