1. C20C experiment
SST
forced, interactive atmo, land, vegetation (CABOa_ALV)
We are participating C20C project. Our model has Dynamic Vegetation and active Carbon Cycle.
Forcings:
Interactiv Components:
- Atmo:
QTCMg 5.625x3.75 (64x48)
- Land:
Sland (one layer for water, two layers for Temp)
- Vege: VEGAS
This version does not include 'solar', 'aerosol',
and 'volcanic' forcings.

NetCDF format created by GrADS lats4d.gs on Compaq Workstation
Binary data along with
GrADS Control files are also avialable (please contact us).
These are ensemble
means of 9 experiments. Data
