CMIP7 forcing data sets

CMIP7
8

Here is an update on preparation of CMIP7 forcing data, from my perspective.

  1. During 16 October to 8 November, with the help of Spencer Wong, I began to document the provenance of the ESM 1.5 Preindustrial Control input data, to try to re-create the CMIP6 Forcings workflow for ESM 1.5. This documentation resulted in a UKESM Wiki page describing the spinup of the piControl for the UK CMIP6 runs. I did not find the equivalent detailed information describing the creation of the ESM 1.5 piControl forcings.
  2. On 12 November, ACCESS-NRI, CSIRO and the UK Met Office met to discuss collaboration focused on the CMIP7 Forcings. The UKESM project at the Met Office has a CMIP7 Ancillary Working Group wiki page that should be relevant to those of us with MOSRS repository access. The ANCIL project also now contains some relevant CMIP7 Trac tickets.
  3. On 13 November, I sent an email message to Jane Mulcahey with detailed questions on how ACCESS-NRI could get started in collaborating with the UK Met Office on CMIP7 forcings.
  4. On 19 December, I created the GitHub - ACCESS-NRI/CMIP7-Input: Code and documentation for transforming CMIP7 forcings into model inputs repository.
  5. On 20 December, Jane Mulcahey responded to my detailed questions. I am posting her response in the next reply.
