APDRC archive of Earth Simulator model output run

Through an on-going collaboration between JAMSTEC and the IPRC, the APDRC serves output from atmospheric, oceanic, and coupled models run on the Earth Simulator supercomputer. The model output, referred to as AFES, OFES, and CFES, is provided by the Applications Laboratory (APL) at JAMSTEC.

This page provides links to these data sets, along with links to JAMSTEC where more information is available, including a list of publications that make use of the OFES output in particular.

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 the following references:
