The IPCC Data Distribution Centre DDC Guidelines

The DDC will be producing Guidance Material for the scenario information supplied through this site. The preparation of this material is being co-ordinated by Dr. Timothy Carter of the Agricultural Research Centre of Finland and will include descriptions of the GCM experiments, discussion of scenario uncertainties, guidance on their application in impacts studies, and reporting guidelines for research results that use DDC data. The Guidance Material will be published as a separate report and extracts from it will also appear in due course on the DDC Green Pages. The Guidance Material is expected to be available in 1999. Registered DDC users will be informed of availability.
