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.
