7. DATASET OVERVIEW
7.1 Abstract
As part of this national strategy, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology(MEXT) had launched a 5-year (FY2007 - 2011) initiative called the Innovative Program of ClimateChange Projection for the 21st Century (KAKUSHIN Program), using the Earth Simulator (ES) to address
emerging research challenges, such as those derived from the outcomes of the MEXT's Kyosei Project(FY2002 - 2006), that had made substantial contributions to the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) ofthe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The KAKUSHIN Program was expected to further
contribute to the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5).
The research items include the advancement and forecasting of global warming models, thequantification and reduction of model uncertainty, and the evaluation of the impacts of naturaldisasters based on forecast information.
Much of the data submitted to CMIP5 from Japan were generated under this KAKUSHIN program using
the global climate models and the Earth system models developed in Japan.
This dataset is the result of using the Global Climate Model MIROC4h.
All CMIP5 data are collected, managed, and published by the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF), andDIAS serves as an ESGF node. All public datasets, including this dataset, are available from ESGF.
For information on how to use these datasets, including this dataset, see "CMIP5 Data - Getting
Started" (URL is available in the online information below). Please note that an ESGF account isrequired to download the CMIP5 data.
Because the terms of use for CMIP5 data are different from CMIP6 in many respects, please checkthe following Terms of Use carefully:
https://pcmdi.llnl.gov/mips/cmip5/terms-of-use.html
Currently, all CMIP5 data, including this dataset, is classified as "unrestricted" within it.
