Regional Climate Mode Evaluation SystemRCMES
Datasets in the RCMES Database (see overview) are listed below in alphabetical order by variable name, with links to the official webpage for each dataset provided under "Data Source." All data are currently provided at monthly resolution.
The RCMES can access data in the RCMES Database as well as datasets in the Earth System Grid Federation, such as those in the obs4mips database which includes a number of remote sensing observations.
