Climate Modeling Tools and Information
Here you can find information about CCR climate simulations, including experiment descriptions (boundary condition tables), paleoclimatic parameters, variable descriptions, and area averages for key variables (temperature, preciptiation, precipitation-evaporation, sea level pressure) for select experiments (model standard area tables).
In addition, we also have tools such as NCL and GrADS scripts to process GCM output and links to UNIX help, including a VI editor how-to and a UNIX guide.
