| 297 | |
| 298 | In the framework of the Earth2Observe project three models (JULES, ISBA and ORCHIDEE) have compared the way they reconstruct the diurnal cycle from the 3hourly E2OFD. |
| 299 | Please not that Jules has only provided hourly values and thus there is small shift at strong changes. |
| 300 | |
| 301 | A few things can be noted in [https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/orchidee/attachment/wiki/Branches/Driver_Improvements/Graphics_ALL_E2OFD.pdf] : |
| 302 | |
| 303 | - The SWdown is quite different in all 3 models. Only ORCHIDEE tries to generate a diurnal cycle using the solar zenithal angle. |
| 304 | |
| 305 | - The scalar are interpolated in exactly the same way. |
| 306 | |
| 307 | - There is a time shift in the radiation fluxes produced by ISBA related to the difficulties exposed above. |
