Description
The 4th and 5th realisations of the IPCC AR4 20C3M experiment (ECHOG_A45_20C3M_RUN4 and ECHOG_A46_20C3M_RUN5) were started from a restart file of an integration with 12 hourly diagnostic output intervals. The experiments were run with 3 hourly diagnostic output intervals which caused an inconsistency of the data values of the first output interval. The consistency has some impact on the monthly mean values through averaging. The first time level of any of the variables in the two experiments should therefore not be used.
