Numerical climate output from the VOLC experiment run of the HadCM3 climate model as part of the NERC funded Euroclim500 project: Causes of change in European mean and extreme climate over the past 500 years. These data were produced by Andrew Schurer, Mike Mineter and Simon Tett using the HadCM3 climate model on the HECTOR supercomputer at the University of Edinburgh. This dataset includes data from ensembles r1 to r3. All ensembles were run utilising the Volcs forcing throughout the simulation and with constant forcing set for the following additional forcings (bracketed dates indicate the year of constant forcing): Solar (1400), GHGs (1400), LUSE (1400), O3 (Pre-industrial levels) and Orb (1400). The data are available in CF-netCDF to all registered users under the UK Government Open Data License.

This dataset holds the high resolution (0.5 x 0.5 deg; 8 vertical levels) monthly means of 5 atmospheric variables (air temperature, pressure, water vapour pressure, vertical velocity and horizontal wind speed) over the Amazon Basin for the period 1972 to 2009 (version 1.0). This data is public and citable (DOI: 10.5285/2dfce039-cd71-43b3-bed4-98978e78f1bb). It was constructed using the predictive capabilities of Time-Delayed Neural Networks (TDNN) method. Thirty years of monthly averages of current climate data (1971-2000) of the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis dataset were used to train the TDNNs, which were then validated on the next 10 years (2001-2010). Once validated, the downscaling model was fed with the higher resolution CRU TS3.1 data and SRTM-1km elevation data (thereby obtaining the higher resolution dataset).
