204 | | This is the official v1 release of GSWP3. It covers 1901-2010 and is dated on 2017-06-01. The original files are 2D, and only the wind is not worldwide and can serve as a land mask). |
205 | | This dataset needs to be formatted for ORCHIDEE for : |
206 | | - the LS3MIP off-line simulation (landhist at the resolution of the IPSL-CM6 climate model 144x143) |
207 | | - the SP-MIP simulations at the 0.5° |
| 204 | This is the official v1 release of GSWP3, dated on 2017-06-01. It is 3-hourly with a spatial resolution of 0.5°, and covers 1901-2010. An extension to 2014 is under way. The original files are 2D, and only the wind is not worldwide and can serve as a land mask. This dataset has been formatted to be used by ORCHIDEE, and should be functional with both the old and new drivers, since it includes the cell_method attributes. |
| 205 | |
| 206 | A detailed analysis of the formatted dataset was done by Salma Tafasca (PhD student at METIS) using the old driver. A comparison of the interpretation of this forcing by the two drivers was done by Vlad: https://orchidas.lsce.ipsl.fr/mapper/meteo_inter.php |
| 207 | The results show a lag of 1h30 for the scalars and the interpolation by the new driver is a priori better. |
| 208 | For the fluxes, SW results are identical with the two drivers, LW results are different but would probably be identical if this flux was not interpolated linearly but uniformly (recommended to conserve the fluxes), and the differences in precipitation comme from different spred_prec parameters. |
