Large-scale model (Reanalysis) output
These are weather models which have the real world observations assimilated into the solution to provide a ‘best guess’ of the evolution of weather over time (although pre-satellite era estimates (before 1979) are less accurate).

- North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR)
Large-scale model (GCM) output
These is output from the large scale global models used to assess climate change in the past, and make projections for the future. Some of this output is also available via the Data Visualisation tools linked below.
- CMIP3 output (~20 models, as used by IPCC AR4) at PCMDI
- GISS ModelE output (includes AR4 output as well as more specific experiments)
- GFDL Model output
Model codes (GCMs)
Downloadable codes for some of the GCMs.

International Climate Science Web Sites
The Discovery of Global Warming
Possibly the single best overview of the history of understanding climate science is by Spencer Weart, a noted historian specializing in the history of modern physics and geophysics. Until his retirement in 2009 he was Director of the Center for History of Physics of the American Institute of Physics (AIP) in College Park, Maryland, USA, and he continues to be affiliated with the Center.
