    The CSIRO archive of the 2007 Sydney Health or Sydney Water Project Regional Climate Model dataset for the Australasia region for the years 1961-2100. Created with the CSIRO Cubic Conformal Atmospheric Model (CCAM) Regional Climate Model (RCM) by dynamically downscaling the CSIRO Mk3.0 A2 M20th Global Climate Model output over a target area centered on the Australasia region. This dataset was also supplied to the Air Pollution Group as part of a study examining the possible health problems associated with the future environmental air quality conditions. The CCAM model was nested in the CSIRO Mk3.0 Global Climate model (GCM) host for the A2 scenario with the M20th scenario as greenhouse emissions corresponding to 1961-2000. 4X-Daily, Monthly mean and seasonal atmospheric variables are available between Lat: 15, -50 & Lon: 70, 200 at 6 levels (1000, 850, 700, 500, 300, 200 hPa) with .5º (60km) resolution. There are 1687 daily files totalling 2.39 TB, and 3122 monthly_mean & seasonal files totaling 94.3 GB. All files are in netcdf format and are available for internal use and analysis by CSIRO staff on the HPSC cherax.

    The CSIRO archive of the Hydro Tasmania Regional Climate Model simulation dataset for the Australasia region for the years 1961-2100. Created with the CSIRO CCAM (Cubic Conformal Amostpheric Model) RCM (Regional Climate Model) by dynamically downscaling the CSIRO MK3.0 Global Climate Model output to 60 km resolution over a target area centered over Australasia. Three runs of CCAM were conducted for this project with CCAM nested in NCEPG (global nudging 1961-200), NCEPF (far field nudging 1961-2000) and also in the CSIRO Mk3.0 A2 Global Climate Model (refer to uk1 control run). 2X - Daily and Monthly mean atmospheric variables are available between Lat: 0, -50 & Lon: 100, 190 at 18 levels (1000, 850, 700, 500, 300 hPa) with .5º (60km) resolution. There are 1683 daily files totaling 545 GB, and 306 monthly_mean files totaling 15.7 GB. All files are in netcdf format and are available for internal use and analysis by CSIRO staff on the HPSC cherax.

    The CSIRO archive of the Indian Ocean Climate Initiative 2005 (IOCI) Regional Climate Model dataset for the entire Australasia region for the years 1950-2100. Created with the CSIRO Cubic Conformal Atmospheric Model (CCAM) Regional Climate Model (RCM) by dynamically downscaling the NCEP reanalysis model output over a target area centered on the Australasia region. IOCI is a research program investigating the causes and impacts of climate change and climate variability in Western Australia. The CCAM model was nested in the NCEP R1, CSIROMk3.0 A2 & A1B host with M20th greenhouse emissions. 2X-Daily, monthly and seasonal atmospheric variables are available between Lat: 15, -50 & Lon: 70, 200 at 5 levels (1000, 850, 700, 500, 300 hPa) with .5º (60km) resolution. There are: CSIROMk3.0 A2 M20th - 1682 daily files totalling 2.25 TB, and 2680 monthly_mean & seasonal files totaling 73.6 GB. CSIROMk3.0 A1B M20th - 1200 daily files totaling 21.62 TB, and 1663 monthly_mean & seasonal files totaling 39.0 GB. NCEPG - 637 daily files totalling 883 GB, and 1408 monthly_mean & seasonal files totaling 40.0 GB. All files are in netcdf format and are available for internal use and analysis by CSIRO staff on the HPSC cherax.

    The CSIRO Dawn-2100 archive contains datasets for atmospheric, land and oceanographic variables for the approximate period 1850 - 2100 (dependent on model). These have been created through the concatenation of 20th century (20C3M) and other scenario (currently SRESA1B or SRESA2) data from a number of the 25 differant global climate models (GCM) from various countries. The SRESA2_pr dataset contains the Precipitation flux variable for various GCM's and runs (multiple runs being averaged to a single file if existing) under the scenario SRESA2 emissions 2001 to 2100. These variables have also been further analysed to give monthly, seasonal and annual trend data, calculated from a monthly timeseries referenced to the area-weighted mean global warming values. 19 GCM models are available with data for variables being in 12 month, annual and 4 seasons(DJF, MAM,JJA,SON) format with 37 files totaling 5.22 GB as Netcdf files. Available for internal use and analysis by CSIRO staff on the HPSC cherax.
