Hello, I was hoping to check if we now have shared forcing datasets for CABLE/JULES and/or the capacity to create these at sub-daily time scales from data available on Gadi? Thanks, Anna ---

Hello Anna, the short answer is not yet. Longer answer is we are working on both a met forcing pre-processor and an ancillary suite. The use of the ancillary suite has focused on AM3 for now as there is a need for the high-resolution ACCESS. This is very close to a working version. @lachlanswhyborn is looking for [input on the mapping of CCI to CABLE’s PFTs](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/cci-land-cover-and-associated-ancillary-suite/5507/18). For the meterological forcings, @abhaasgoyal has started working on it again in November or about. He has [a prototype for ERA5](https://github.com/ACCESS-Community-Hub/Land-ancillary-creation/pull/17) but it is very slow currently. He is working on clean up, documentation and tests in a first instance. We’ll work on the speed up afterwards and then on supporting more datasets. ---

Ok great. Partly asking as there is some interest from the DAVE group to use sub-daily data. We have a version of AGCD but it only goes to ~2020 as we don’t have access to BoM radiation data beyond then. I’m still also clueless about anything science related (😅) and can’t for the life of me remember if we need to bias-correct reanalysis data like ERA5 or BARRA to use it to force CABLE/JULES? Or can we use the raw data? @siyuan wondering what you’ve done with JULES? Thanks, Anna ---

I was using ERA5-land for the Met forcing except for precipitation. Planning to switch to BARRA2. But for JULES/CABLE comparison probably does not matter too much as long as we use the same forcing? Happy to share the forcing I have if useful for JULES/CABLE comparison.
