AMIP I Standard Model Output
Upon request, the AMIP I monthly mean model output from 30 different atmospheric models is available.  This data set is representative of AGCMs in the early 1990s, which should be clearly stated in any future studies that make use of it.  Contact the AMIP Project Office with a brief summary of the intended use of the data and for FTP access instructions. Documented studies by the AMIP I diagnostic subprojects and others are listed on the AMIP abstracts archive.      Revised-model AMIP I simulations are also available from some modeling groups.

Limited access to some  AMIP I high frequency output is available, provided that a brief research proposal is approved by the AMIP Panel. Contact the AMIP Project Office for futher information.
