Changing Antarctica to ice free in ACCESS-ESM1.5

Yes, soil moisture and soil temperature need to be initialized with some sort of realistic value for the new tiles in Antarctica.

Updating land-use change in ACCESS restart files for new tiles

I’m having a problem with running simulations with land use change in payu. Payu configurations with land use change call a pre.sh script which calls a python script This script: Re-scales the new cover fraction so that they add up to 1. Does nothing more if the old and new cover fractions are the same. Inserts the new land cover fractions into the restart file. Initialise variables for any new tiles that are created by the changed land-use with grid averages. Set variable val…

I will ponder this for a while and get back to you.
