Temperature anomalies for individual models can be found in separate folders for cmip6 and cmip5
The data is available in csv files:
model, ens, exp, postprocess, table, grid, varn, period, mean
CAMS-CSM1-0, r1i1p1f1, ssp119, global_mean, Amon, gn, tas, 2021-2040, 1.07
CNRM-ESM2-1, r1i1p1f2, ssp119, global_mean, Amon, gr, tas, 2021-2040, 1.32
CanESM5, r1i1p1f1, ssp119, global_mean, Amon, gn, tas, 2021-2040, 2.16
...
There are two files with cmip6 data. One with one ensemble member per model and one with all ensemble members. For cmip5 two additional files are provided. The reference period is 1850 to 1900, however, many cmip5 models only start after 1850 and are therefore excluded. These models are also included in the *_no_bounds_check.yml files.
- Monthly temperature data (variable:
tas, Table ID:Lmon) forhistoricalandRCP2.6,RCP4.5,RCP6.0, andRCP8.5(CMIP5)SSP1-1.9,SSP1-2.6,SSP2-4.5,SSP3-7.0, andSSP5-8.5(CMIP6)
- Grid-cell area for atmospheric grid variables (
areacella)
To calculate the temperature anomalies the following method is used for every individual model:
- Calculate global mean temperature (weighted with the grid cell area (
areacella) if available, else thecosof the latitude is used) - Calculate annual mean (Note: all months are weighted equally)
- Concatenate historical data and projection (constrained to the historical/ future time period)
- Subtract the mean over 1850 to 1900 (inclusive)
- Calculate the mean over the indicated time period
The code will be published in https://github.com/IPCC-WG1 as soon as I have the right to create a repository.
