CMIP5 variables on a uniform latitude-longitude grid
Regridding was performed on several CMIP5 ocean variables to transform them from their native curvilinear ocean model grids onto a fixed 1° by 1° latitude-longitude grid. The bilinear interpolation method was used. Several atmospheric variables are also included.
