.. _f67cf3c75cd01c7d267650f6fa18f9ad_ipcc-ar5-data-on-dvd: ================================ IPCC AR5 Data on Storage Media ================================ Selected IPCC AR5 data is available on storage media (USB flash drives). The data is a subset of the IPCC Working Group I AR5 snapshot of the 15th March 2013 (the cutoff date for literature to be included in the WGI AR5 report). The data is distributed on DVD for different :ref:`regions (areas) <345922eea0ba9ae9795995dbaf2aecd5_available-ipcc-data-on-dvd>`. The data is in monthly temporal resolution and the format is NetCDF. **Note that not all scenarios are available from all models.** Scenarios ~~~~~~~~~ - **historical** - Simulation of recent past (1850 to 2005). Impose changing conditions (consistent with observations). - **rcp26** - Future projection (2006-2100) forced by RCP2.6.  RCP2.6 is a representative concentration pathway which approximately results in a radiative  forcing of 2.6 W m\ :sup:`-2` at year 2100, relative to pre-industrial conditions. - **rcp45** - Future projection (2006-2100) forced by RCP4.5. RCP4.5 is a representative concentration pathway which approximately results in a radiative  forcing of 4.5 W m\ :sup:`-2` at year 2100, relative to pre-industrial conditions. RCPs are time-dependent, consistent projections of emissions and concentrations of radiatively active gases and particles.                                      - **rcp85** - Future projection (2006-2100) forced by RCP8.5. RCP8.5 is a representative concentration pathway which approximately results in a radiative  forcing of 8.5 W m\ :sup:`-2` at year 2100, relative to pre-industrial conditions. RCPs are time-dependent, consistent projections of emissions and concentrations  of radiatively active gases and particles. Ensemble Runs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The first ensemble run **r1i1p1** was selected. In case of the model CESM1-WACCM, which did not provide this ensemble, r2i1p1 was chosen.   Variables ~~~~~~~~~ =================== ========================================= Variable Short-Name
