Data Description:

Data are values of effective angular momentum functions (EAM) of the atmosphere, the ocean, and land hydrology as calculated from 6-hourly ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts) operational atmospheric forcing data by means of theMax Planck Institute Ocean Model (MPIOM) and the Land Surface Discharge Model(LSDM). All the data is processed consistently to the GRACE de-aliasing products AOD1BRelease 06. Model description and citation info is given in the references at the end of this file.
