Java Climate Model JCM - Archive of old versions

Java Climate Model - Archive of older versions

This shows the evolution of JCM over time (see also History of JCM)
Some old versions (especially March 2004 = JCM4) are still used for teaching purposes.

"JCM5" 2005-2009

Since 2005 JCM became an application launched using Java5 and WebStart, and has been hosted here at www.climate.be/jcm

June 2011 Current version of JCM (also shared on SVN)

Feburary 2009 Prior to adding Copenhagen pledges

October 2008 Including new regional emissions data / effort-sharing projections for Swiss project on emissions pathways

March 2007 Core science updates (using IPCC AR4), partial documentation update, usability improvements

October 2006 Version for ABCI project including Aviation Emissions & Forcing

March 2006 Frames version, includes new LUC module, new methods for attribution of responsibility, and wiki-doc system

June 2005 Early experimental Java 5 version with only free-floating internal windows, includes new parallel worlds structure

Note: these all work ok from downloaded jar files, but webstart may stall loading earlier versions across a slow network. Old "current.jcms" setup files may also crash the startup

JCM 2002-2004

Until 2004 JCM was an applet embedded in a webpage, running on Java 1.1, and hosted at jcm.chooseclimate.org

Note: these will all be loaded in a new window, as they rely on java-javascript communcation between frames

December 2004
Only Source Code Stored Used for analysis "optimisation under uncertainty", including optimisation, SRES extension,
results presented in Trieste workshop, and included in ClimnegII report

March 2004 The most complete, well-explained version of JCM4, with interactive documentation, popular for teaching

July 2003 Added probabilistic scripting for analysis of stabilisation under uncertainty,
results presented in Firenze and WCCC Moscow

December 2002 Added analysis of attribution of responsibility for ACCC, also experimental costs module

7 July 2002 On leaving KUP Bern, including atmospheric chemistry and forcing of all 33 gases, auto-stabilise temperature
still online at www.climate.unibe.ch/jcm

January 2002 On leaving GRID Arendal, with clear explanations and GUI, also SRES scenarios
(used for climatechange.unep.net/jcm)

Note: you may get a problem opening these sequentially without closing the web browser - due to java static classes retained in memory!

2000-2001 - Chooseclimate interactive applet => JCM

July 2001 First version of "JCM" as proof of concept,
after work in Edinburgh adding other gases, solar+volcanos, sea-level rise, etc.
presented at IGBP Open-Science conference, later UNFCCC COP7 Marrackech

March 2001 Version on leaving Denmark, with help from Jesper Gundermann to incorporate UDEB heat and Hilda carbon models
November 2000 Multilingual version developed for Experimentarium, Denmark
May 2000 Chooseclimate interactive graphics - illustrating key decisions of C&C, vote to save the climate!
Note - press the stop button and choose the step-by-step intro!

The code here was designed for java version 1.0 and web browsers of 2000, so there may be some problems now!
