AIMIP Phase 1 Forcing Dataset

Contains a single netCDF file with the AIMIP forcing dataset at ERA5's native grid (0.25°), consisting of monthly-mean sea surface temperature and sea ice concentration from October 1978 to December 2024. There is an additional static variable for the land_sea_mask which contains the grid cell fraction (0,1) containing land. Note the time-varying variables are centered around the start of each month from ERA5 at 6-hourly resolution.
