Data Units Monthly or annual Timeseries or climatological average Notes
Data is required for the Pliocene plus the control experiments as a minimum (Eoi400 and E280)
expt_name.totalprecip mm/day monthly Timeseries Time series = last 100 years (monthly averages)
largescale and convective precip mm/day monthly  Timeseries Groups should save last 30 years of daily data/or be willing to regenerate it
expt_name.NearSurfaceAirTemp deg C monthly Timeseries 12 values (monthly means)
Please check all units are consistent with CMIP6

total cloud cover % monthly Timeseries
absolute minimum and maximum surface temp deg C monthly Timeseries Minimum/maximum temperatures within the month from the daily output (consistent with what CMIP/PMIP require)
snowfall mm/day monthly Timeseries  
u(m/s), v (m/s), w (Pa/s), q (kg/kg) and t (K) and z (m) following CMIP6 guidelines on the number of levels for each variable *see left monthly Timeseries Following CMIP6 guidelines on the number of levels for each variable and for units
