Notes :

* csiro_[0,6]fix has been added to the database

* cnrm has been completely removed from the database, and replaced by
cnrm-2 (small error in the radiative computation of the arpege model)

 From royer Fri Sep 20 17:13:09 1996
 Subject: New PMIP simulations
    While processing the output of the present and 6kBP runs that we
  have sent to the PMIP archive (cnrm_0fix and cnrm_6fix)i we have
  found a small error in the radiative computation of the arpege
  model. The impact is small since it produces a constant relative
  underestimation of the radiative (both solar and IR) fluxes of about
  2.5 % in both runs

* Some variables have been updated for ccsr1_21fix_[ca,cs,cm]
  orog, seaice, sftland, sim
  (we are just missing ccsr1_21fix_seaice_cm_map due to a file
  transfer problem)

  From abeouchi
  ...informed me about a mistake in land /sea mask of 21 K run and I
  realized that I took the normal land/sea mask instead of 21K
  land./sea.  The run itself is of coarse OK but I made the mistake
  when I produced the PMIP formatted data.

* ugamp_21fix_tas_ca_map has been corrected

* giss-iip_0fix has been updated
