- Early Output:
prior to 1982 (no oceanic CFC data are available).
- Frequency: monthly averages every 10 years (1940, 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980)
- Type:
- 3-D Fields:
- CFC-11 and CFC-12 tracer distributions [mol/m^3]
- 2-D Fields:
- Monthly mean flux of CFC-11 and CFC-12 [mol/(m^2*s)]
- Cumulative flux of CFC-11 and CFC-12 [mol/m^2]
- Model SST (online models every year; offline models year 1940 only) [C]
- Model SSS (online models every year; offline models year 1940 only) [psu]
- Late Output:
from 1982 to 1997
- Frequency: monthly averages every year
- Type: same as above
- Transport Output:
in 1990 (just one year)
- Frequency: monthly averages
- Type:
- The rate of change of each tracer ([mol/m^3*s]
at tracer grid points) due to advection, diffusion, and convection,
- Split according to process and direction
- Total rate of change dC/dt
- Rate of change due to advection (from x, y, and z directions, separately),
- Rate of change due to diffusion (from x, y, and z directions, separately), and
- Rate of change due to convection (from z direction), if modeled
- Tracer fluxes (3-D) [mol/m^2*s]
- Split according to process and direction
- advective fluxes (from x, y, and z, separately) at advection grid points,
- diffusive fluxes (from x, y, and z, separately) at diffusion grid points, and
- convective fluxes (z), if modeled, at "convection" grid points
- Conventions for the direction of fluxes:
- rectangular grid: positive from the west, from the south,
and from below
- curvilinear grid: postive from i, j, k directions
- other grids (e.g., AWI, MPI, and ULG): contact

- Equilibrium Output:
All models provide first output year (1940);
Online models also provide output for the year 1990
- Frequency: monthly averages
- Type:
- Active tracers (T and S) in 3-D
- Advection field (u,v,w) [m/s] as separate scalar values at advection
grid points (u,v,w), which usually do not coincide
- Tracer diffusion coefficient [m^2/s] as separate values at diffusion grid points
