Global Synthesis and Observations Panel Intercomparison data
The CLIVAR Global Synthesis and Observations Panel is established to:
1. Develop, promote and seek to implement strategies for a synthesis of
global ocean, atmosphere and coupled climate information through
analysis and reanalysis efforts and through the use of other techniques
where appropriate. Initial emphasis will be on global ocean synthesis
efforts, building on previous experiences and developments.
2. Be responsible for the definition and fulfilment of
CLIVAR's global needs for sustained observations (in collaboration with
relevant WMO and IOC bodies, including GCOS, GTOS, GOOS, AOPC and OOPC,
and JCOMM), and for the development of a strategy for their
evolution/optimization based on new science and reanalysis insights,
and fostering the use of resulting data sets in global synthesis
efforts.
3. Promote activities to develop the surface flux data sets
required by CLIVAR in liaison with the WGNE, global atmospheric
reanalysis efforts and the WCRP Working Group on Surface Fluxes.
4. Provide an overview of and directions to CLIVAR data
management and information activities in collaboration with other WCRP
projects and in liaison with CLIVAR-relevant data centres and DACS and
the ICPO.
5. Liaise and collaborate with CLIVAR Panels and Working
Groups in identifying the requirements for and coordinating the
development of an observing system for CLIVAR.
description of data
All data provided as timeseries of monthly means. The variables and derived indices:
name and units
|
domain
|
Data is provided as global, basin and/or index region quantities. Which of these is indicated in the file name
(ex. fw.na.198001-200712.nc is the Equivalent Freshwater Content for the North Atlantic) Ifno spatial domain
information is specified in the file name then the data is global monthly mean data.
preview
Mouse over "ps" to see preview of an image in the left frame and mouse over "gif" to see image in the right frame. Clicking on ps will provide a postscript of the previewed image, gif a GIF image and nc will initiate dowload of the data or open a ftp directory if multiple datasets are relevant.
