Global climate simulations by ISAC-CNR

The simulation data are distributed on the CINECA THREDDS server. 

Table 1 reports a summary of all simulation periods and boundary conditions.

Table 2 reports the list of variables available for all simulations.

A graphical atlas of these variables is available on the ISAC-CNR EC-Earth pages
