Paleo-based climate reanalysis: paleo-NorCPM1

This archive contains the reanalyses spanning the past few centuries produced with paleo-NorCPM:

• paleo-NorCPM1 offline reanalysis (from 1501 to 2010)
• wind-nudged reanalysis (from 1601 to 2000)

For each reanalysis, the ensemble mean and variance are provided at monthly resolution for the following variables:

• PRECT – Total precipitation (m s-1)

• PSL – Sea-level pressure (Pa)

• TREFHT – Near-surface (2 m) air temperature (K)

• U850 – Zonal wind at 850 hPa (m s-1)

• V850 – Meridional wind at 850 hPa (m s-1)

• T850 – Atmospheric temperature at 850 hPa (K)

• Z500 – Geopotential height at 500 hPa (m)

• fice – Sea-ice concentration (%)

• SPEI – Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (unitless)

In addition, for the wind-nudged reanalysis, the following variables are provided:

• MOC26 – AMOC strength at 26° North (Sv)

• OHC_global_0000-700m – Global ocean heat content from the first 700 meters (ZJ). 

• mld – Mixed layer depth (m)

As for oceanic variables, those have been interpolated on the CAM4 f19 grid (1.9° × 2.5° latitude–longitude).
