    See W. Large and S. Yeager, 2004: "Diurnal to Decadal Global
	Forcing for Ocean and Sea-Ice Models: The data sets and
	Flux Climatologies", NCAR TECHNICAL NOTE, NCAR/TN-460+STR.
	section 5.1
	
    Comparison of 2000-2001 QSCAT wind speed to NCEP 
	2000-2001 wind speed.  Mean 2D (lat,lon) multiplicative
	factor is used for correcting NCEP values (see script below).
	
    For use with modified latm6 code.

    For use with CORE experiments
