| Release of Obs4MIPs formatted monthly mean gridded data |
| DATE: 2022-07-07 11:20 TYPE: DATA |
| Description |
| Dear ROM SAF Data User Issued: 2022-07-07 11:20 UTC Obs4MIPs (Observations for Model Intercomparisons Projects) is an effort to make observational data more accessible for climate model applications. This is done through the Obs4MIPs Data Specifications, which are a set of requirements for formatting of netCDF files such that the observational data can be handled similar to the climate-model data (https://pcmdi.github.io/obs4MIPs). The ROM SAF now releases an Obs4MIPs formatted data record consisting of reprocessed multi-mission RO data covering the time period January 2002 to December 2016. This demonstration product is essentially a subset of the ROM SAF product GRM-28-R1 (Multimission reprocessed RO gridded Level 3 climate data record), with the Level 3 netCDF files slightly reformatted to conform with the Obs4MIPs Data Specifications (ODS v2.1). The reformatting affects the netCDF meta data, attributes, and variable names, but the data themself are not affected. The Obs4MIPs data record includes gridded monthly-mean data of four geophysical variables: bending angle, refractivity, dry temperature, and dry geopotential height. This product was a result of the ROM SAF CDOP 3 work package WP2550. The purpose was to demonstrate the format and contents of a potential Obs4MIPs data record to be used in climate-model related studies, e.g., within CMIP projects. The data are available at: https://www.romsaf.org/pub/demo/obs4mips. Kind regards The ROM SAF Team |
