Draft program out for the Bureau’s convection scheme workshop. Some relevant topics to LSM research. http://www.bom.gov.au/research/workshop/2024/program.shtml
Update on FLUXNET sites in benchcab for crop and urban. Nothing new in benchcab but Jiachen ran 17 urban sites with offline CABLE and modified site characteristics for urban.
How to reference the CABLE version used in publication when it isn’t a released version?
Could give the commit hash or add a tag. Need to check what other communities do. Would need to come up with a tag naming scheme that makes obvious the reason for the tag. Could also use annotation in the tags to reference the DOI of the published paper.
Hard-wired vegetation types:
Issue is now opened to catalogue all occurrences. Occurences can refer to a specific vegetation type or assume an ordering of the vegetation types (ice always last, woody types always before grassy etc.). Problem with some inputs having hard-wired values (iveg in FLUXNET input files).
How to deal with the question of consistency between ice tile and ice soil in CABLE? This is being worked on for the offline code but the coupled case works differently.
Is it possible to have tiled soil inputs for our coupled model? It is possibly quite a bit of work and would need to decide if it’s worth the effort.
