+----------------------------------------------------------+ | Updated state of the PMIP database as of October 29th 97 | +----------------------------------------------------------+ WARNING : the database can only be accessed by groups who have contributed results. Other groups should ask Sylvie Joussaume or Karl Taylor to grant them access. You will find below, for each model, the list of changes and patches applied to the variables BETWEEN May 22nd 97 AND October 29th 97 IF YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED DATA FROM THE BASE DURING THIS PERIOD, we strongly advise you to read this mail thoroughly and GET THE UPDATED VARIABLES!!! Please CHECK YOUR EMAIL at the beginning of this mail. It is possible that we used an old email address. If you have a new address, 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) Updated state of the PMIP database as of October 29th 97 ======================================================== Detail of the available data : Number of variables MODEL 0cal 0fix 6fix 21cal 21fix 6cal(*) bmrc 282 282 ccc2.0 232 231 ccm1 217 217 ccm3 211 210 ccsr1 277 276 277 cnrm-2 225 222 csiro 246 245 echam3 226 224 225 gen1 193 193 gen2 242 242 237 242 227 gfdl 276 277 276 276 giss-iip 158 157 lln_nh_1 59 60 60 lmcelmd4 187 186 185 lmcelmd5 193 192 191 mri2 283 282 189 ugamp 255 255 254 255 255 uiuc11 270 272 ukmo 151 256 255 151 yonu 248 (*) 6cal allowed only for lln_nh_1 Size of the binary part of the base (in Kbytes) : 1600064 Binary or, more precisely 195534 0cal 506907 0fix 235 6cal 509527 6fix 195542 21cal 192318 21fix 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. List of the available variables =============================== The tables below list what monthly variables are available for 0fix AND 6fix, 0fix AND 21fix, 0cal AND 21cal. 0fix and 6fix .............. b c c c c c c e g g g g l l l m u u u y m c c c c n s c e e f i l m m r g i k o r c m m s r i h n n d s n c c i a u m n c 2 1 3 r m r a 1 2 l s _ e e 2 m c o u | . | | 1 -
