The dataset comprises output from 10 general circulation ocean models contributing to the 4th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The models span the globe however a subset encompassing the Indonesian Throughflow and Leeuwin Current region in the East Indian Ocean has been extracted. Ocean horizontal resolutions of the models range from approximately 1 degree to 2.5 degree, and vertical resolutions expand from the surface to their maximum depths. Outputs cover the period from late 1800's to 2100 (2200 for some models) with monthly outputs of zonal and meridioanl current velocity, wind speed and stress of the full 3-dimensional fields.

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_huss dataset contains the Specific Humidity 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. 8 GCM models are available with data for variables being in 12 month, annual and 4 seasons(DJF, MAM,JJA,SON) format with 20 files totaling 2.94 GB as Netcdf files. Available for internal use and analysis by CSIRO staff on the HPSC cherax.
