The Japanese 55-year Reanalysis AMIP-type simulation (JRA-55AMIP)

As a subset of the Japanese 55-year Reanalysis (JRA-55) project, an experiment using the global atmospheric model of the JRA-55 was conducted by the Meteorological Research Institute of the Japan Meteorological Agency. The experiment, named the JRA-55AMIP, has been carried out by prescribing the same boundary conditions and radiative forcing of JRA-55, including the historical observed sea surface temperature, sea ice concentration, greenhouse gases, etc., with no use of atmospheric observational data. This sub-project is intended to assess systematic errors of the model. (A part of JRA-55AMIP data included an error. We replaced the error data to the corrected data on 3rd June 2015. The details are described at "Data Remarks".)
