NCEP Reanalysis data provided by the NOAA-CIRES Climate Diagnostics Center,
Boulder, Colorado, USA, from their Web site at http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/ 

Due to the large size of the files, only one year of NCEP data is provided
with CCSM2.0 as an example of a forcing set than can be used with latm5.
The data consists of 6 hour averages (0Z, 6Z, 12Z, and 18Z) and has been
interpolated to the T62 Gaussian grid with 192 lon x 94 lat points for
compatibility with the atmpospheric component.  It may not provide the
best simulation for all purposes.  Since latm5 is capable of using forcing
fields of different temporal resolutions and the forcing fields are in
separate files, it is easy to use fields from other datasets.
