Abstract
This dataset includes the ECMWF-IFS model output prepared for SPECS seasonal (1981-2012). These data were prepared by the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF), as part of the SPECS project.
Model id is IFS (IFS C36R4), frequency is daily and monthly.
Daily Atmospheric variables are:
rlut
Monthly atmos variables:
al clt hfls hfss mrso pr psl rls rsds rss snld tas tdps uas vas
Monthly ocean variables:
