CORE IAF.v2
Version 2 of the Coordinated Ocean-ice Reference Experiments (CORE) datasets used for forcing global ocean-ice models has been released. This second release updates just the interannually varying forcing (CORE IAF.v2), now extending from 1958-2006. The data is available for download here and is documented in Large and Yeager (2008, see here for draft).
Initial Results
Some ocean-only simulations have been carried out at NCAR using the CORE IAF.v1 surface forcing. Initial results are presented here (Powerpoint presentation by G. Danabasoglu).
