You have come through to the IPCC DDC Scenario Visualisation pages. If you have not already found out about the observed and GCM datasets that you can view here then we suggest that you familiarise yourself with them now. You may also wish to examine the User Support pages before proceeding - these services include an on-line demo of how the site works and a Guidelines document on how IPCC DDC data can be used for scenario construction.
You have four visualisation options to choose from at this site. These are listed below. If you wish to download via ftp any of these datasets then proceed to the Data Download page.
This option allaws you to view global maps of observed surface climate variables over land areas for 1961-90 and other periods, and also to examine the differences between observed and modelled 1961-90 mean fileds.
This option allows you to plot observed climate timeseries for the period1901-1995 for a user-defined region of the global land surface, and for a selection of variables and months or seasons.
This option allows you to examine any of the various GCM change fields for any of the three 30-year future timeslices and also to examine the difference between two user-defined GCM change fields, whether different GCMs, ensemble members or different timeslices.
This option allows you to combine the observed 1961-90 global land fields with a user-defined GCM change field to generate a future climate field for any timeslice and variable.
