Data Notes

  • 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, have been derived by averaging the daily output stream from CESM into monthly-averaged output.
  • The 3-D ocean variables do not contain months 2033-07, 2038-09 and 2052-11, due to hardware failures. The 2-D variables do not contain the month 2023-04. There is no placeholder data for these missing data
