6-hourly CCSM3 output data for IPCC scenarios

[yongxin@lanl_gov]

I need to use the 6-hourly CCSM3 output data for IPCC scenarios (B1, A2 et al.) to drive a regional model but I could not find the data on the Earth System Grid. Please let me know where I can locate the 6-hourly data.

Thanks,
Yongxin

Please see the following page:

for information about the 6-hourly CCSM3 data available via the ESG.

Thanks. I downloaded the 6-hourly CCSM3 output data for the IPCC scenarios but noticed that the data do not account for leap years. For example, for February 1972, I would like to see 116 (29*4) records but instead it is 112 (28*4) records in the data files. I was wondering if leap-year option was implemented in CCSM3.

Thanks,

CCSM3 does not have leap years.
