Under the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), the Working Group on Cloupled Modelling (WGCM) established the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) as a standard experimental protocol for studying the output of coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation models (AOGCMs). CMIP provides a community-based infrastructure in support of climate model diagnosis, validation, intercomparison, documentation and data access. This framework enables a diverse community of scientists to analyze GCMs in a systematic fashion, a process which serves to facilitate model improvement. The Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI) archives much of the CMIP data. Part of the CMIP archive constitutes phase 3 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP3), a collection of climate model output from simulations of the past, present and future climate. This unprecedented collection of recent model output is officially known as the "WCRP CMIP3 multi-model dataset". It is meant to serve the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)'s Working Group 1, which focuses on the physical climate system -- atmosphere, land surface, ocean and sea ice -- and the choice of variables archived reflects this focus. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environmental Program to assess scientific information on climate change. The IPCC publishes reports that summarize the state of the science. The research based on this dataset provided much of the new material underlying the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4).

This dataset contains output data from a number of models associated with the IPCC Third Assessment Report. This data was processed at the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia. The data extraction was intended for use by the Climate Impacts Community (and was funded by the UK Department of Environment Food and Rural Affairs, Defra). Data from various modelling centres and models: CCCMA, CSIRO, ECHAM4, GFDL99, HADCM3, NIES99.

Data used in Climate Change 2001, the Third Assessment Report (TAR) of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Simulations of global climate models were run by various climate modelling groups coordinated by the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) on behalf of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Climatology data calculated from global climate model simulations of experiments representative of Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES) scenarios: A1F, A1T, A1a, A2a, A2b, A2c, B1a, B2b. The climatologies are 30-year averages. Climate anomalies are expressed relative to the period 1961-1990. The monthly climatology data covers the period from 1961-2100. The climatologies are of global scope and are provided on latitude-longitude grids.

Data used in Climate Change 2007, the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Simulations of global climate models were run by various climate modelling groups coordinated by the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) on behalf of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Climatology data calculated from global climate model simulations of experiments representative of Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES) scenarios: A1b, A2, B1, the commitment scenario experiment (COMMIT), the twentieth century experiment (20C3M), the pre-industrial control (PICTL) and the idealised experiments 1PCTO2X and 1PCTO4X. The AR4 climatologies are 20-year averages, 30-year averages have also been calculated for comparison with the IPCC Third Assessment Report (TAR). The monthly climatology data covers the period from 1850-2100. The climatologies are of global scope and are provided on latitude-longitude grids.

CMIP5 monthly mean climatology fields matching those given in IPCC WG1 AR5 Annex I: Atlas of Global and Regional Climate Projections in Climate Change 2013, the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Climatologies have been calculated for global fields of Specific Humidity, Precipitation, Sea Level Pressure, Temperature, Wind and Downwelling Shortwave Radiation (Stoker et. al., 2013). The CMIP5 climatologies, calculated by the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA), match those described in table AI.1 in Stoker et al (2013). Twenty- and thirty-year climatologies and climatological anomalies are calculated for experiments: piControl, 1pctCO2, historical, rcp26, rcp45, rcp60 and rcp85 produced by 39 models from 22 modelling centres. The monthly climatology data covers the period from 1850-2100. The climatologies are of global scope and are provided on latitude-longitude grids.

Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, United Kingdom and New York, NY, USA, pp. 423–552, doi:10.1017/9781009157896.005. --------------------------------------------------- Figure subpanels --------------------------------------------------- The figure has several subplots, but they are unidentified, so the data is stored in the parent directory. --------------------------------------------------- List of data provided --------------------------------------------------- This dataset contains Sea Ice Area anomalies over 1979-2017 relative to the 1979-2000 means from: - Observations (OSISAF, NASA Team, and Bootstrap) - Historical simulations from CMIP5 and CMIP6 multi-model means - Natural only simulations from CMIP5 and CMIP6 multi-model means --------------------------------------------------- Data provided in relation to figure --------------------------------------------------- - *_arctic_* files are used for the plots on the left side of the figure - *_antarctic_* files are used for the plots on the right side of the figure - *_OBS_NASATeam* files are used for the first row of the plot - *_OBS_Bootstrap* are used for the second row of the plot - *_OBS_OSISAF* are used for the third row of the plot - *_ALL_CMIP5* are used in the fourth row of the plot - *_ALL_CMIP6* are used in the fifth row of the plot - *_NAT_CMIP5* are used in the sixth row of the plot - *_NAT_CMIP6* are used in the seventh row of the plot --------------------------------------------------- Notes on reproducing the figure from the provided data --------------------------------------------------- The significance are for the grey dots, it's nan or 1 values. The data has to be overplotted to colored squares. Grey dots indicate multi-model mean anomalies stronger than inter-model spread (beyond ± 1 standard deviation). The coordinates of the data are indices, but in global attributes 'comments' of each file there are relations of indices to months, since months are the y coordinate. --------------------------------------------------- Sources of additional information --------------------------------------------------- The following weblinks are provided in the Related Documents section of this catalogue record: - Link to the report component containing the figure (Chapter 3) - Link to the Supplementary Material for Chapter 3, which contains details on the input data used in Table 3.SM.1 - Link to the code for the figure, archived on Zenodo.
