5.1 Multifield

The 13 fields of ECHAM5 describe temperature (t), wind velocity components (u,

v, omega), speci

c and relative humidity (q and rhumidity), cloud water (xl) and
cloud ice (xi), vorticity (svo) and divergence (sd), streamfunction (stream), velocity
potential (velopot) and geopotential height (geopoth). We consider one time step,
namely the monthly means of April of the rst year.
