This is a listing of the actual starting and ending timesteps in the published NARCCAP datasets (converted to datetimes using the appropriate calendar). Note 1: this is based on the tas files in Table 2; other variables *should* be the same, but it is possible that they could be different. Note 2: all the CCSM-current runs are 1 year short, ending in 1999 instead of 2000. This is because the driving GCM is also 1 year short.
