CCMVal-1:

Model output from several CCM simulations is currently being stored in the CCMVal archive at the
British Atmospheric Data Centre (BADC) (see Table 1). The main features of the participating CCMs are listed in Table 2. An assessment of temperature, trace species and ozone in the simulations of the recent past from these CCMs has been finalized and an assessments of the ozone projections in the 21st century is currently in preparation [Eyring et al., 2006a,b].

Notes, Errata and  Updates on the BADC archive

The following acknowledgment should be included in any publication that uses data from the BADC Archive. Each modeling group whose output is used should be explicitly acknowledged (see Table 1 for group names and institutional affiliations):
"We thank the [group name(s)] at [institution name(s)], for providing their model output for this analysis; the Chemistry-Climate Model Validation Activity (CCMVal) of WCRP-SPARC (World Climate Research Programme - Stratospheric Processes and their Role in Climate) for organizing the model data analysis activity; and the British Atmospheric Data Center (BADC) for collecting and archiving the model output." 

Table 1: CCMVal-1: A summary of the CCMs, including the external forcings and representation of QBO used in the model simulations. The past simulations (‘REF1’) and the future simulation (‘REF2’ or ‘SCN2’) are described in Eyring et al. [2005]. All forcings can be downloaded from the CCMVal forcing website. Changes in halogen concentrations in the ‘future’ simulations are prescribed following the Ab scenario [WMO, 2003; Table 4B-2] and WMGHGs are based on the IPCC SRES scenario A1B(medium) [IPCC, 2000] in all simulations. Sulfate surface area densities beyond 1999 are fixed at 1999 conditions (volcanically clean conditions).

Table 2: CCMVal-1: Model output from the following CCMs is currently stored at BADC. The models are listed alphabetically by name. The horizontal resolution is given in degrees latitude × longitude (grid point models). For spectral models the resolution is also given as T30, T32, and T42 corresponding to the triangular truncation of the spectral domain with 30, 32, and 42 wave numbers, respectively. All CCMs have a comprehensive range of chemical reactions. The time varying concentrations of CO2 as well as other WMGHGs are considered in the radiation schemes of all models.
