SO&P: ECHO-G Snow temperature (where snow exists)
enat : 1756-1990 natural forcings only
Important notes regarding the ECHO-G data:
- Do not redistribute data to others outside the SO&P project.
- GKSS or FUB may require co-authorship (depending on the level of their
involvement), but they certainly want to be informed about what analyses
you are using the ECHO-G data for. Please contact
Julie Jones for the erik data or Irina Fast for the enat data
(see SO&P
participants table) and keep them informed.
- To ensure collaboration between SO&P partners, please refer to the
list of ongoing/planned model-data comparisons.
Please contact
others who have listed an interest in the same area, to initiate
collaboration. To add your planned areas of model-data work to the list,
email Tim Osborn.
- Climate drift, unrelated to the external forcings, may be present
in the ECHO-G simulations. An appropriate ECHO-G control simulation
for assessing and removing any drift has not yet been performed.
Data users should take this into account when using this data.
- Please inform Tim Osborn
of any errors that you find in the data.
Obtaining fields of model data
Fields of model data, covering the entire globe, are available in netCDF
format only (please email Tim Osborn
if you cannot use netCDF files). For monthly and seasonal-mean data, there
is usually one file for each decade (though not always and the filenames or
headers will make it clear when this is not the case). For annual data
there are usually separate files for each year.
The netCDF header contains all the information
about coordinates and units that you need.
You have two options for downloading the files:
- Use wget with the command listed below
(click here
to obtain the wget software, to understand its options and for an explanation of its advantages):
wget --mirror --no-parent --no-directories --accept=nc --http-user=soapech --http-passwd=od2004 http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/projects/soap/pw/data/model/echo-g/soaparchive/enat/nc/tsn/
- Click here
to see a listing of all files, and right-click each one that you want to download/save.
Note that the data files use the ECHO-G variable name instead of the
variable name used on the SO&P website. Instead of
tsnow, the files are named
tsn.
Note also that the units used in the data files may be different to those given
in the time series plots/data, because I converted some variables to more common units.
Refer to the netCDF file headers for the units used (and any notes below regarding
errors in this information).
