Apologies
Claire, Ben, Rachel, Tilo
For discussion (Alex has agreed to run the meeting)
- Progress on Australian pfts
- Running types 12/13; restart creation
- Pft distribution
- Parameter choices
- Possibly useful to review items on this table: Coordinating development threads for next phase of control experiment - CMIP7 / CMIP7 development - ACCESS Hive Community Forum. Status? Anything still in scope and not on list? Additional land diagnostic output? Cleaning up variable descriptions where co-opted MOSES/JULES variables.
Notes
- Progress on Australian PFTs:
- Need to integrate new C3/C4 fraction of grasslands data from Sam Munroe et al. (A vegetation carbon isoscape for Australia built by combining continental-scale field surveys with remote sensing | Landscape Ecology) - @Juergen to get in touch with Sam to let her know about the intended data use.
- Parameters: Rachel and Alex are fine-tuning the “wish-list” of most important parameters to send to WSU team - Laura Williams and Belinda Medlyn. They will provide trait data where available, Laura has an idea of how to map species-level data to our PFT classes. Juergen and Alex agree that we will need to do a global comparison of tree type PFT parameters following the new assignment of Aus PFT parameters, to ensure the ‘relative’ differences are sensible.
- Restart file tests: Changed PFT 2 to 12, and PFT 4 to 13 across entire globe. This resulted in no change in screen temperature - considered a successful test. Next test is to limit the PFT changes just to the Australian region. Lachlan and/or Jhan should have results by next week.
