3* Paths changed to retrieve new input data versions;
4* Correction of hyphens/underscores in directory/file names in order to suit the new data version.

7GHG data for CMIP6 are initially coming from
8ftp://data.iac.ethz.ch/CMIP6/input4MIPs/UoM/GHGConc/CMIP
9see also http://www.climate-energy-college.net/cmip6
10They have been in September replaced by v1-2-0 from ESGF.
11The format of the netcdf has changed with one variable (and sectors) per file.
12The data were downloaded in September 2016 and are available
13on ciclad in /prodigfs/project/input4MIPs/UoM
14
15The data are processed to produce annual global mean files
16for the IPSL model. This is currently done on ciclad in
17/home/oboucher/CMIP6/GHG but will be moved in a central repository.
18
19The GHG to be used are
20
21CO2
22CH4
23N2O
24
25and either
26
27CFC11=CFC11eq
28CFC12=CFC12
29
30OR
31
32HFC134a-eq
33CFC12eq
34
35Do not use the original CFC11eq and CFC12eq together as some species
36would be double-counted
37
38At IPSL we chose the second way of doing for CMIP5, and we do likewise for CMIP6.
39HFC134-eq are converted into CFC11-eq using AR5 values for their 2011 RF and
40volume mixing ratios (Table 8.2 from Chapter 8, CFC11 0.062 Wm-2 for 238 pptv and
41HFC134eq 0.0100 Wm-2 for 62.7 pptv), which gives the following conversions:
42CFC11eq_CMIP6 <== HFC134a-eq * (0.0100/62.7)/(0.062/238.0)
43CFC12eq_CMIP6 <== CFC12eq
44
45So in the end, we have 5 files for GHG for CMIP6 runs with IPSL-CM6
46CO2_CMIP6_0000_2014.txt
47CH4_CMIP6_0000_2014.txt
48N2O_CMIP6_0000_2014.txt
49CFC11eq_CMIP6_0000_2014.txt
50CFC12eq_CMIP6_0000_2014.txt
51
52Note that the CFCeq files have non-zero values for pre-industrial conditions
53because they include some natural species.
54
55To produce the data used in CMIP6, just run the extract.sh script
56
57The plots in graphs are from Jean-Louis, blue is CMIP6, green is CMIP5.
