What simulations available ?
There are three simulations from IPSL, available for the entire
CIRCE community. In the following, they are referred to as "ipsl1",
"ipsl2"
and "ipsl3" respectively. All three cover the period from 1951
to 2050 (100 years) and correspond to the IPCC-A1B scenario for
the period 2001 to 2050.
They cover the mediterranean basin with a spatial resolution
of about 35 km.
-
"ipsl1" indicates the results from the regional coupled model
LMDZ-Med/NEMO-Med8, driven in the atmosphere by the outputs (4xdaily) of the
global coupled model IPSL-CM4. But there was a bug in the coupling.
So the simulation is only partially available for assessment.
-
"ipsl2" is also from the same regional coupled model, but operated with
the global model IPSL-CM4 in an interactive two-way nesting manner.
"ipsl3" indicates the results from the regional coupled model
LMDZ-Med/NEMO-Med8, driven in the atmosphere by the outputs (4xdaily) of the
global coupled model IPSL-CM4. It is a corrected simulation of "ipsl1".
Where to download the data ?
Data in NetCDF format can be retrieved from
our DODS server "http://dodsp.idris.fr/rces111/yangzi"
In a near future, a mirror ftp server in IPSL may be available
You may know already that GNU "wget" is a non-interactive network downloader
which is helpful to manage a large number of files to download.

How to do if I have specific demands ?
If you don't have the capability to download all data or to save them on your
local system, you may ask Laurent Li to do some specific diagnostics for you.
