Notes about the base
....................
We asked in the previous mail if anybody used the ASCII part of the
base. We didn't get any answer about this. Please let us know if you
need the ASCII files. Otherwise, we may assume that it is safe to
remove those files, should we need more disk space for the binary
files...
Reported and corrected problems
...............................
When you find something wrong, please let us know about it by sending
a mail to :
jypeter (NEW! Please check the PMIP 'Contacts' web page)
or paleo (NEW! Please check the PMIP 'Contacts' web page)
The changes applied to the binary part of the base have also been
applied to the ASCII part. If you find something inconsistent between
the two parts, you should let us know, and temporarily assume that the
binary version is correct.
When you create your data files with Karl Taylor's wrtascii
subroutine, please READ THE WARNING/ERROR MESSAGES generated by the
subroutine! This is a good way to avoid basic errors...
When you send new/updated/corrected data, please add a 'release' field
to the standard name of the archive defined in the "PMIP Newsletter
N. 6" : modelid_run_stat.tar.Z ==> modelid_run_stat_RELEASE.tar.Z
e.g. : lmcelmd4_0fix_ca_002.tar.Z, lmcelmd4_0fix_cs_tgcs.tar.Z
Note that only the name of the archive needs to be changed. The
structure of the archive and the names of the files present in the
archive remain unchanged!
MAJOR changes
=============
Read this section and the next one to determine if you have retrieved
data sets that are flawed (and may have been corrected).
ccm3
----
* ccm3_6fix has been CORRECTED (the files had monthly average dates 1
day off from what they should have been).
gen2
----
* A point was not very clear in the previous mail and has confused
some people. It was written that people should only use 'fix'(ed)
gen2 runs. That was true before March 96. The 'cal' runs released
after this date are CORRECT.
gfdl
----
* gfdl_[0fix, 0cal, 6fix, 21cal] runs have been ADDED to the base. The
rlt variables have been corrected. The stfmm variables were WRONG
and have been removed.
giss-iip
--------
* giss-iip_6fix is FLAWED (insolation problem) and will soon be
updated. DO NOT USE IT until the new fields are available!
lln_nh
------
* lln_nh_1_[6cal, 21cal] runs have been ADDED to the base. Note that
"6cal" is allowed only for lln_nh_1.
* Variables have been added to lln_nh_1_0cal (but
lln_nh_1_0cal_hfss_cm_map[.nc] was WRONG and has been REMOVED).
mri2
----
* mri2_21fix_[cs, cm] variables were FLAWED and have been REMOVED
(there was a 5-day shift in the seasonal and monthly means). For
21fix, please USE ONLY mri2_21fix_ca variables. The cm and cs
variables will soon be corrected.
uiuc11
------
* The group 2 variables (uiuc11_[0, 6]fix_*_3d[.nc]) are FLAWED. Their
'time' and 'pressure level' dimensions have been swapped. DO NOT USE
THEM until the corrected fields are available!
yonu
----
* yonu_0fix still has insolation problems. DO NOT USE IT yet!
Other new errors and changes
============================
If an error in YOUR model is mentioned below and we have not gotten in
touch with you about it, it means that we should be able to take care
of the problem ourselves... when we have time. You are nonetheless
welcome to confirm the error, tell us if other similar variables may
also be wrong, and send us updated/corrected data!
echam3
------
* echam3_21fix_tg_cs_map[.nc] was WRONG and has been REPLACED.
ugamp
-----
* ugamp_*_v[a,s,m]_snm_map[.nc] variables have been ADDED to the base
uiuc11
------
* uiuc11_[0, 6]fix_orog_ca_map[.nc] was on the wrong grid. The grid
has been corrected. GET THE NEW FIELDS!
Errors reported in the previous mail
====================================
The following errors have not been corrected yet :
ccc2.0
------
!! The sign of ccc2*tau[u,v] is wrong.
ccm1
----
!! The sign of ccm1*tau[u,v] is wrong.
ccm3
----
!! The sign of ccm3*tau[u,v] is wrong.
gen1
----
!! For all fields the grid is shifted east by half a grid cell
(3.75 degrees) and is therefore incorrect.
gen2
----
!! Some gen2*sftland* points have very small values when they
should have a 0.0 value over the ocean.
!! All the AGCM variables are shifted 1.875 degrees west, and
the LSX variables are shifted 1. degree west.
mri2
----
!! Problems with mri2_*_sftland_*
!! The sign of mri2*tau[u,v] is wrong.
