############################ PROJECT DESCRIPTION ###########################
This project aims to provide global simulations from different Global Climate
Models (GCMs) of the past & future evolution of temperature and precipitation
for the entire world from 1850 to 2100 under various scenarios of greenhouse
gases emission.

The folder cmip5-ng contains netCDF files of 10 GCMs from WCRP CMIP5 inter-
comparison project (https://pcmdi.llnl.gov/mips/cmip5/ ; Taylor et al., 2012)
in the framework of CliC GlacierMIP project (http://www.climate-cryosphere.org/
activities/targeted/glaciermip/activities-experiments).

List of the folders:
- pr for precipitation
- tas for temperature

Name of the files:
'variable'_mon_'GCM'_'scenario'_r1i1p1_g025.nc

. variable is 'pr' or 'tas'
. mon is for monthly
. GCM is one of the 10 GCM of GlacierMIP experiment
. scenario is 'historicalGHG' or 'historicalNat' or 'RCP26' or 'RCP45' or
	      'RCP60' or 'RCP85'
. r1i1p1 is the realization

CMIP5 original data are unrestricted to use. However, CMIP5 original data have
been formated and made available for GlacierMIp project by Urs Beyerle (IAC/ETH
Zurich). Please don't share the data and use them only for the OGGM modelling
group.
