A projection under SRES B1 scenario for the 21st century.

Model CCSM3 The Community Climate System Model (CCSM) is a coupled model for simulating past, present and future climates. The Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3) is a coupled climate model with components representing the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, and land surface connected by a flux coupler.

Scenario B1 The scenario SRES B1 describes a convergent world with the global population peaking around mid-century and declining thereafter. This scenario envisions a rapid change in economic structures toward a service and information economy, with reductions in materials and the introductionof clean and resource-efficient technologies.
