Abstract
This dataset includes the ECMWF-IFS4 model output prepared for SPECS SoilMoistureInit (1981-2013). These data were prepared by the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF), as part of the SPECS project.
Model id is IFS4 (atmosphere: IFS4(201505212,CY41R1,N128TL255L91); ocean:NEMO3.4.1(L34E5,ORCA1_Z42,1°L42); seaice:N/A; MACC:N/A; land:CHTESSEL,ERA-Interim forcing, active lakes, GPCP correction, carbon fixes (CY40R1, internal exp.id g2ze, climate.v009); wave:WAM(CY41R1,1°); ozone:Cariolle(v2.9); climversion:climate.v010), no external forcing.
frequency is daily and monthly.
Daily Atmospheric variables are:
