CCSM AMWG Diagnostics Package
Observational/Reanalysis Datasets
All original data was interpolated onto a T42 grid using the
NCL bilinear interpolation function and written to netcdf files.
Climatological means for ANN, DJF, JJA were computed from
monthly means when original climatologies were not available.
The following dataset can be obtained by using our anonymous ftp site.
>ftp ftp.cgd.ucar.edu

>cd pub/stevens
>get diag.obs_data.tar.gz
WARNING: this is a large file (~116MB).
To get the datasets for CAM2.0 and CAM3.0 climatological SST and
Amip runs used for comparison please e-mail me at stevens@ucar.edu
Due to the large size of these files (~1.5GB total) I can't keep them
all on my ftp site.
