The CFSv2 Operational Analysis or Climate Data Assimilation System (CDAS), consist of all 6-Hourly CDAS, and the monthly CDAS monthly means and variable time-series (all variables). The CFSv2 outputs include: 2-D Energetics (EGY); 2-D Surface and Radiative Fluxes (FLX); 3-D Pressure Level Data (PGB); 3-D Isentropic Level Data (IPV); 3-D Ocean Data (OCN); Low-resolution output (GRBLOW); Dumps (DMP); and High- and Low-resolution Initial Conditions (HIC and LIC). The monthly CDAS variable timeseries includes all variables. The CFSv2 period of record begins on April 1, 2011 and continues onward. CFS output is in GRIB-2 file format. A coupled CFS Reanalysis was made over a 32-yr period (1979–2010), which provided the initial conditions to carry out a comprehensive CFS Reforecast over 29 years (1982–2010). The Climate Data Assimilation System (CDAS) data continue the CFS Reanalysis dataset, ensuring a continuity of the climate record. These CDAS data will be used by a wide community of users to in their decision making processes in areas such as water management for rivers and agriculture, transportation, energy use by utilities, wind and other sustainable energy, and seasonal prediction of the hurricane season.
