A SCM is a framework for testing key process models and parameterizations in a GCM by extracting a single column from the GCM and operating the model in this mode. Over this area, we do not expect significant temporal variability on time scales of less than one hour, so the datasets will contain observations time-averaged over one hour or more, depending on the quantity. In view of the coordinated effort required, we decided to report on the status of the various elements of the SCM dataset. Designated representatives from all observational groups should participate in the integrated dataset group meetings in the future. Next line should include data set version and file creation date.
Next lines contain data.
A SCM dataset web site will provide access to all SCM datasets.
