Data Notes

  • All the 3-D variables like temperature (TEMP) and salinity (SALT) are exactly the same as the native CESM monthly-averaged output. However, the data for 2-D variables, such as SST, come from two different streams. 2-D fields for years 1850-1876 are obtained directly from the native monthly streams, whereas the 2-D variables for years 1950-2006, when available, have been derived by averaging the daily output stream from CESM into monthly-averaged output.
  • We currently do not have the 2-D variables for years 1877 through 1949, but they will be made available in the coming months.
