About this site

N.B. This site will be replaced soon.

This site contains raw data produced by the BBC Climate Change Experiment run by climateprediction.net. It's aimed at scientists rather than the general public, though anyone is welcome to view the data.

Using the site

The main navigation functions for this site are on the sidebar to the left. A detailed description of each of the functions is given on the help page.

Registration

We require registration in order to use this site. The purpose of this is to make it possible to track the data that have been downloaded, which is useful in saving you the trouble of downloading the same data more than once.

We also need to know the purpose for which you require the data, whether for a particular research project or due to general interest in the topic. This information will be visible to all registered users of the site, as will your login name and e-mail address. Registrations will be moderated. It is not necessary to register to view the site, but is to download data.

When submitting data access requests, please specify a research abstract so that we know what you are intending to do with the data (so as to avoid clashes). If you do not wish to do research with the ensemble please specify "personal use"; registrations that do not specify an abstract will be rejected.

Use of the data

We expect (and would very much appreciate) but do not require researchers who want to use the data to collaborate with us. The primary point of contact for climateprediction.net experiments are as follows:

The results on this site have been made possible by the generosity of hundreds of thousands of participants and the hard work of a small team of researchers.

We would like to thank Microsoft for assistance in making these data available.

The database contains 11443 models, as of Wed Jul 23 22:17:25 +0100 2008.
