NetCDF file contents for HadCEML dataset

HadCEML is a low resolution version of HadCEM. It has a 1.25x1.25 degree 40 level resolution ocean and the same atmosphere as HadCM3 (2.5x3.75 degrees). A costal tiling scheme is used and so the coastline resolution is 1.25deg. In the table that follows the shape entry gives an indication of the grid that the variable is on. Variables with shape [96,73,...] or [96,72,...] are on the atmosphere grid, while those with shape [144,288,...] are on the ocean grid. The BADC holds 100 years of data from HadCEML.
