CERES EBAF for CMIP5

Order Data

CERES provided these data files to the ESGF Gateway link to external site

hosted by the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) as part of an experimental activity to increase the usability of NASA satellite observational data for the model and model analysis communities. The CERES EBAF (ESG-formatted) product provides individual flux parameter files reformatted from the CERES EBAF-TOA and EBAF-Surface products in the required format for comparison with model results from the fifth phase of the Climate Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). The PCMDI/CMIP5 mission is to develop improved methods and tools for the diagnosis and intercomparison of general circulation models (GCMs) that simulate the global climate.
