ACCESS-CM2 Model Output

ACCESS_CM2.Rd

A dataset containing climate model outputs from the ACCESS-CM2 model. This dataset includes atmospheric and surface variables across longitude, latitude, and vertical levels.

Usage

ACCESS_CM2

Format

A list with 13 elements:

hus

array: Specific humidity (kg/kg) with dimensions [lon, lat, lev, time].

ta

array: Air temperature (K) with dimensions [lon, lat, lev, time].

ua

array: Zonal wind speed (m/s) with dimensions [lon, lat, lev, time].

va

array: Meridional wind speed (m/s) with dimensions [lon, lat, lev, time].

ps

array: Surface pressure (Pa) with dimensions [lon, lat, time].

orog

matrix: Surface elevation (orography) (m) with dimensions [lon, lat].

lon

vector: Longitudes (degrees east).

lat

vector: Latitudes (degrees north).

a

vector: Vertical coordinate formula term: a(k) [lev].

b

vector: Vertical coordinate formula term: b(k) [lev].

a_bnds

vector: Vertical coordinate formula term: a(k+1/2) [lev+1].

b_bnds

vector: Vertical coordinate formula term: b(k+1/2) [lev+1].

time

PCICt: Time with attributes for calendar, months, days per year, and time zone.

Note

ACCESS-CM2 data is on hybrid height coordinate.
