NOTES

AMIP: Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project

GISST2: Global Sea-Ice & SST Dataset version 2.2 (UKMO)

All the datasets contain monthly means (interpolated daily by the model later) of "ground temperature" (land and sea surface temperatures), "surface albedo" (0.~0.8), "ground wetness" (0.~1.), "vegitation type" (1~15) and "topographic height".
"6090" denotes the data expands from years 1960 through 1990, "EnvOrg" denotes the data contains Envelope Orography, "cT" and "aT" denote respectively climatological (averaged observations) and anomaly (observed SST. "P" and "A" denote Pacific (70W~120E, 30S~30N) and Atlantic (75W~25E, 90S~90N) oceans.
