Model:CMIP

CMIP

Also known as	CMIP-temp
Model type	Tool
Model part of larger framework	permafrost toolbox
Note on status model
Date note status model

Incorporated models or components:

Spatial dimensions	2D
Spatial extent	Continental
Model domain	Climate, Cryosphere
One-line model description	Data component provides monthly mean temperature for Permafrost Region 1902-2100
Extended model description	Data component processed from the CRU-NCEP Climate Model Intercomparison Project - 5, also called CMIP 5. Data presented include the mean annual temperature for each gridcell, mean July temperature and mean January temperature over the period 1902 -2100. This dataset presents the mean of the CMIP5 models, and the original climate models were run for the representative concentration pathway RCP 8.5.

Describe input parameters	This data component serves as input climate data for components in the permafrost toolbox. It requires specification of time period, time step (monthly), and of grid dimensions. To set the grid to a desired region x=25 means 25 degrees east of the international date line y=37 means 37 degrees south of the north pole (30 by 23) means a grid that is "30 degrees E/W by 23 degrees N/S"
Input format	ASCII
Other input format
Describe output parameters	The component provides monthly temperature data in degrees Celcius. Within the CSDMS framework, the component generates an NetCDF file of a stacked grid of monthly temperatures over the specified region.
Output format	Binary
Other output format
Pre-processing software needed?	No

Visualization software needed?	Yes
If above answer is yes
Other visualization software	Any software that can visualize NetCDF.

Describe processes represented by the model	Air surface temperature as simulated from coupled atmosphere-ocean global climate models
Describe key physical parameters and equations	The original dataset was created by the
Describe length scale and resolution constraints	The grid is 720 wide by 360 high, thus it a half degree resolution.
Describe time scale and resolution constraints	Data covers 1901 to 2100. It is processed from the original data to comprise a monthly timescale.
Describe any numerical limitations and issues

Describe ideal data for testing

Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers?	This component is part of the permafrost toolbox, it is currently linked to the Frost number model, and the Frost Number GEO. Extension of its functionality planned is to allow it to work with the Kudyatsev model.

Is there a manual available?	No
