The format of the Scenario Download files is as follows. GCM Grid Details - For the download files from the Green Pages Under B2 scenario for the first integration Greenhouse Gas forcing scenario using CGCM1. Therefore CCCma_B2a_DSWF_ contains represents Mean temperature change for the period 2010-2039 SPFH850 = 850 hPa Specific Humidity (kg/kg) SPFH500 = 500 hPa Specific Humidity (kg/kg)

SPFH200 = 200 hPa Specific Humidity (kg/kg) PRECL = Large Scale Precipitation (mm/day) PRECC = Convective Precipitation (mm/day) HGTVAR500 = 500 hPa height variance (gpm) Note: Not all variables are available from all runsĭSWF=Total Incident Solar Radiation (w/m2)
