I have a very general question about the JRA-do and how it forces the thermodynamic changes at the surface of the ocean. When I read that e.g. air temperature is prescribed by JRA55-do, does this mean the same air temperature was prescribed in all experiments JRA55-do is used as the forcing e.g. RYF…

No, the forcing is not the same. IAF stands for interannual forcing. It’s the full JRA55-do record. Something like 60 years. RYF stands for repeat-year-forcing. It’s only one particular year of the IAF (the most neutral one) that we loop on repeat.
