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_ua dataset contains the Eastward wind 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. 9 GCM models are available with data for variables being in 12 month, annual and 4 seasons(DJF, MAM,JJA,SON) format with 27 files totaling 3.28 GB as Netcdf files. Available for internal use and analysis by CSIRO staff on the HPSC cherax.

The CSIRO archive of the Tas Futures 2008 Regional Climate Model simulation datasets for the years 1961-2100. Created with the CSIRO CCAM (Cubic Conformal Amostpheric Model) RCM (Regional Climate Model) by dynamically downscaling the UKHADCM3 (United Kingdom - Hadley Coupled Model 3) outputs to 60 km resolution (C64 Grid) with the main target area centered over Australasia. These runs have been completed using only bias corrected SST(Sea Surface Temperatures) and Sea Ice (No Atmospheric) forcings. 4X Daily atmospheric variables are available globally at 18 levels with .5º (60km) resolution on a C64 Grid. There are 1680 daily files in netcdf format, totaling approximately 2.47 TB. Regional climate data is also available for CCAM nested in other GCMS as part of this project. This dataset has also been further downscaled to 14km resolution for the Tasmania region.

The SRESA2_tos dataset contains the Sea surface temperature 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. 11 GCM models are available with data for variables being in 12 month, annual and 4 seasons(DJF, MAM,JJA,SON) format with 22 files totaling 6.26 GB as Netcdf files.

The SRESA1B_cal_windsp dataset in particular contains the variable windspeed (windsp) which has been calculated from GCM outputs of eastward wind near surface (uas) and northward wind near surface (vas) under the SRESA1B scenario (SRESA1B emissions 2001 to 2100, then constant GHG 720ppm). 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. 13 GCM models are available with data for variables being in 12 month, annual and 4 seasons(DJF, MAM,JJA,SON) format with 43 files totaling 4.2 GB as Netcdf files.
