Project:

WAMME

Summary

These model output files include aerosol direct effects. The files end in yyyymm extensions. The .ctl (control) files are GrADS description files. There are hourly, 6 hourly and monthly files. Within each type of file there are 4 ensembles, each with it's unique .ctl file. The time periods are for the months of April- October 2000-2005. There is no other documentation for this dataset.
