The Model Evaluation Consortium for Climate Assessment (MECCA) Enhanced Greenhouse Atlas
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Description
The Model Evaluation Consortium for Climate Change Assessment (MECCA) Enhanced Greenhouse Atlas is an industry-funded project designed to assess the reliability of Global Circulation Models (GCMs), to quantify the probable range of future climatic change and to convey the resulting information to policymakers and other interested organizations and individuals. The Enhance Greenhouse Atlas visualizes the results from six MECCA experiments employing a variety of greenhouse gas scenarios.
The six models are: GENESIS: Global Environmental and Ecological Simulation of Interactive Systems BMRC CCM0: NCAR's Community Climate Model (Washington and Meehl) CCM1-OZ: Modified version of CCM1 CCM1W: Wang, et al (1992) version of CCM1 CCM1: Oglesby and Saltzman (1992) version of CCM1 The model results illustrate the effects of enhanced carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations on surface temperature and precipitation. The atlas is divided into two sections representing surface temperature and precipitation.

These are further divided into five subsections each consisting of displays for the four canonical months: January, April, July and October. The five subsections are: agreement maps; mean; standard deviation control run; mean differences; and signal-to-noise. Contributors and authors include: A. Henderson-Sellers, A.-M. Hansen, J. Arblaster, J. Hoekstra, K. McGuffie, C. Brescianini, C. Gross, P. Love, M. Perkins, and the MECCA Analysis Team, Professor R. Oglesby (Purdue University) and Professor W-C. Wang (SUNY Albany).
