  <Summary>
    <Abstract>Computer simulations of past climate. Variables provided as model output are described by parameter keyword.  In some cases the parameter keywords are a subset of all archived model output, and additional output is available upon request. Additional summary information can be found in the abstracts of papers listed in the data set citations.
