BAD NEWS (and good news)
========================
SIX simulations were WRONG and have been CORRECTED (details
below). Get the corrected data NOW and make sure you don't use the old
variables any more!
QUICK UPDATE
============
You will find below, for each model, the list of changes and patches
applied to the variables
BETWEEN March 7th 97 AND December 1st 98
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!!!
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)
MISCELLANEOUS NEWS
==================
* New model available : climber2 (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research).
* If you have not put the PMIP URL in your favorite bookmarks, you can
still do so!
http://www-pcmdi.llnl.gov/pmip
You can also access the old newsletters at the following URL :
http://www-pcmdi.llnl.gov/pmip/databup.html
* The updated documentation of the models is also available on-line on
the web site : http://www-pcmdi.llnl.gov/pmip/docs/index.html
* We are still checking the consistency of the database. Please make
sure you answer the mails you will receive, about possible problems
concerning your results.
We hope that we will soon have a stable version of the base and
thank you for your patience!

MAJOR changes
=============
Read this section to determine if you have retrieved data sets that
are flawed (and may have been corrected). The changes have been done
during the past two weeks (see the exact date for each model).
bmrc
----
* bmrc_[0fix, 6fix] runs will soon be updated.
ccc2.0
------
* ccc2.0_21fix has been ADDED to the base. [ 11/19/98 ]
climber2
--------
* climber2_[0fix, 6fix, 0cal, 21cal] runs have been ADDED to the base. [ 11/23/98 ]
Note to VCS users : due to the coarse grid of the climber2 variables,
you should use the following script lines to read a variable into VCS :
A_sftland(File="climber2_0fix_sftland_ca_map.nc",
Name="sftland",XName="longitude",
YName="latitude",XKwrap=(0,0),XCycle=0,
xfirst=0,yfirst=-90,xlast=360,ylast=90)
For the same reason, VCS won't be able to display the variable on an
interval that is not a subset of [0, 360[. If you want to use another
kind of interval (e.g. [-180, 180[), you will have to change the
'longitude' variable (and the actual data accordingly).
cnrm-2
------
* cnrm-2_6fix was WRONG and has been REPLACED. [ 11/19/98 ]
The CO2 concentration in this simulation was not set as intended to
its preindustrial value, but was erroneously kept at the same value
as in the control simulation cnrm-2_0fix.
echam3
------
* echam3_21fix was WRONG and has been REPLACED. [ 11/18/98 ]
The previous run was using CLIMAP LGM SST instead of the required
PMIP boundary condition
Present Day SST (AMIP) + ('CLIMAP LGM SST' - 'CLIMAP PD SST')
giss-iip
--------
* The giss-iip_[0fix, 6fix] runs were wrong and have been REPLACED. [ 11/20/98 ]
The surface radiation scheme used for the control and 6K did not
conserve energy and lead to anomalous results.
uiuc11
------
* the uiuc11_[0fix, 6fix]_[cs, cm, vs, vm]_3d variables have been
corrected. [ 11/19/98 ]
The 'pressure level' and 'time' dimensions had been switched.
yonu
----
* yonu_[0fix, 6fix] runs have been REPLACED. [ 11/19/98 ]
The algorithm used to compute insolation was wrong.
Minor changes
=============
ccc2.0
------
* ccc2.0_21cal : rsdt (shortwave down at TOA) and rsut ( shortwave up
at TOA) were wrong and have been corrected. [ 26/11/98 ]
msu
---
* msu_[0fix, 6fix, 21fix]_sftland_ca_map variables have been added to
the base. [ 11/19/98 ]
Minor bugs
==========
giss-iip
--------
* The values of pmsl (mean sea level pressure) submitted to PMIP are
in hPa - 1000.
* The sign of rsus (surface reflected shortwave radiation) is wrong.
mri2
----
* WARNING! An SST boundary condition ERROR was found in mri2_21fix
over the high-latitude North Atlantic. The SST was wrongly fixed to
271.3K (sea-ice freezing temperature in MRI model) over the region
from Iceland to Labrador (about 50N-60N, 20W-50W) for all months.
