Data Repository

The CVDP Data Repository holds CVDP output (graphics and data files) from numerous CMIP and CESM integrations. To access the output, simply select Images or Data for the desired model intercomparison listed in the Table below. The data are stored as tar files: within each tar file there are multiple netCDF files corresponding to each component member included in the comparison. To see an example of the netCDF file metadata, click here.

The CVCWG freely distributes these results for non-commerical purposes and is not responsible for errors in the data or within the CVDP. Use the distributed data at your own risk.Note that not all output fields may be relevant for a particular set of model simulations. For example, modes of decadal variability are not meaningful if the period of record is too short.

When presenting results from the CVDP in either oral or written form, please cite at least one of the following:

Questions and feedback about the CVDP Data Repository are welcomed and should be posted on the CESM Bulletin Board.

All comparisons in the above table use quadratic detrending for the observations and for each individual simulation. Comparisons denoted with a * use the following detrending options: quadratic detrending for observations and ensemble mean removal for simulations.

 

The following comparisons were completed with CVDP v5.1.1 or v5.2.0.
