OFES NCEP forced hindcast 0.1 deg monthly mean

Full resolution (0.1 degree) OFES output, interannual forcing for 50+ years.

The OGCM For the Earth Simulator (OFES) is a global 0.1x0.1 degree model forced by NCEP winds. This output is from a 50+ year integration using interannually varying winds.

If you use the OFES output, please acknowledge: "The OFES simulation was conducted on the Earth Simulator under the support of JAMSTEC." And please include these
