         <gmd:abstract>
            <gco:CharacterString>JRA55-do is a surface dataset for driving ocean-sea ice models and used in phase 2 of OMIP (OMIP-2). JRA55-do corrects the atmospheric reanalysis product JRA-55 (Kobayashi et al., 2015) using satellite and other atmospheric reanalysis products. The merits of JRA55-do are the high horizontal resolution (~55 km) and temporal interval (3 h). An assessment by Tsujino et al. (2020) implies that JRA55-do can suitably replace the current CORE/OMIP-1 dataset.
This reanalysis of atmospheric variables is provided by the Japanese Meteorological Agency starting in the year 1958 and will be used to drive the coupled NEMO-ERSEM model in the hindcast configuration.</gco:CharacterString>

                  <gco:CharacterString>Version 1.5 includes the following two fixes relative to version 1.4:
- The surface atmospheric fields around the erroneously (anti-cyclonically) rotating tropical cyclones that originate from the raw -JRA-55 are replaced with those from 20CRv3 (Slivinski et al., 2019).
- The surface meteorological variables (specific humidity, air temperature, and wind vector) for the period after 2016 are replaced by those based on the delayed-mode analysis of the COBE-SST dataset, instead of the real-time analysis.

Version 1.5 is planned to be extended into the future as JRA-55 is extended.

An OMIP-2 type experiment forced with this version using the MRI model indicates that the overall effect of this correction is very minor.</gco:CharacterString>
