input4MIPs

Process the input dataset for AMIP experiments (see https://pcmdi.llnl.gov/mips/amip/SST.html for details).

Download the dataset

Download the input4MIPs dataset via wget-input4MIPs.sh script, and use -h option for help. For example, you can use your openID and password of ESGF@DOE/LLNL to download.

AMIP SST and SIC data

  1. Run the script amip_input_sst_sic.sh to get the AMIP input files, including sea surface temperature (SST) and sea ice concentration (SIC). The default is from 1979 to 2008, but you can change the end year (e.g., 2014) according to your needs.

    • Note that in order to satisfy the calendar type in Isca, the standard calendar is changed to 360_day calendar, with units being set to days since 1979-01-01 00:00:00.0. These manipulations are supported by CDO and NCO.

    • The NCL script change_calendar.ncl is an example to change the calendar of netCDF files. For example, convert standard calendar to Julian calendar, which seems to be not supported by CDO.

  2. Similarly, the script amip_input_sst_sic_clim.sh is to generate the climatology files for SST and SIC, in which the time units are set to days since 0000-01-01 00:00:00.0.
