CM2.x atmosphere land time independent variable list by table
Table A1b: Time-independent 2-d land surface data (longitude, latitude)
To learn about the directory structure used in storing CM2.0 data on this server, see the FAQ
How are the
CM2.0 model output files arranged in directories on the GFDL Data Portal?.
The variables and output variable names listed in this table are consistent with those of
the IPCC/PCMDI archive as outlined in their document titled
IPCC Standard Output from Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere GCMs.
