JRA-55 based surface dataset for driving ocean-sea-ice models (JRA55-do)
We present a new surface-atmospheric dataset for driving ocean-sea-ice models based on Japanese 55-year atmospheric reanalysis (JRA-55), referred to here as JRA55-do. The JRA55-do dataset aims to replace the CORE interannual forcing version 2 (hereafter called the CORE dataset), which is currently u...
