Interpretation
This data set consists of 10 ensemble (or slightly different) 15 year
simulations of the global land-atmosphere-ocean system. The mean value
of all 10 ensembles was found for the modeled soil moisture in the top model
layer (7cm).
Acknoledgements
This data was derived from the CD-ROM set called "Seasonal Simulations"
distributed by the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasting
(ECMWF) using the GrADS plotting software and the included script called
exampl.gs. See http://www.ecmwf.int for further information.
