1.3 CMOR Variable: Total Atmospheric Mass of CO2 (co2massClim)

Record Label : co2massClim

Record Title : Total Atmospheric Mass of CO2

Record Identifier : a92e1244-817c-11e6-a4e2-5404a60d96b5

MIP Variable : co2mass

Deflate: NetCDF compression parameter :

Deflate Level: NetCDF compression parameter :

Shuffle: NetCDF compression parameter :

Indicative priority for this parameter, which is over-ruled by the requestVar priority setting, but provides a reference for organisation of the CMORvariables : 1

Data value type, e.g. float or double : real

Modeling Realm : atmos

CMOR Directive Positive :

The MIP table : Amon

Provenance : Amon ((isd.003))

Processing Notes : Report only for simulations (e.g., prescribed concentration pi-control run), in which the CO2 does not vary from one year to the next. Report 12 monthly values, starting with January, even if the values do not vary seasonally. When calling CMOR, identify this variable as co2massClim, not co2mass. If CO2 is spatially nonuniform, omit this field, but report Mole Fraction of CO2 (see the table entry before the previous one).
