Description
Summary:This report is a user's guide to the 10 year model history data set from an integration of the Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System (NOGAPS). NRL Monterey is participating in the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) sponsored by the Department of Energy. Nearly every major atmospheric modeling center in the world has run their model for the years 1979 through 1988 with sea surface temperature and sea ice boundary conditions provided by AMIP. The NOGAPS AMIP data set has great potential for use in a wide variety of atmosphere/ocean studies that require the high time and space resolution available from a global atmospheric model.
