Urban modelling in CABLE
Presentation by Jiachen Lu on his work to implement urban representation in CABLE.
It’s possible to represent urban type without an urban model and simply using the right properties to represent the surface. But there is a problem of finding the right data for doing this.
Discussion on the Bureau’s work on urban representation in NWP
Experiment proposal: TRENDY
The cost of the experiment is relatively low (~100 kSU).
It was requested to perform an additional run with a different branch of CABLE to increase the relevance of the experiment to the community.
No objection was voiced so the experiment was agreed to go ahead.
Workshop date
Considering there was no strong objection due to the school holidays and the chosen dates are the best for known availability of people, we choose to keep the dates. The Land Working Group workshop will happen on 9-10 October 2024.
ILAMB datasets
We need more information on what datasets are acceptable by ILAMB:
- spatial and temporal resolution
- point vs grid datasets
- spatial extent
ACS was using ILAMB, it might be worth checking with them if they have datasets for Australia already curated for ILAMB.
Claire will gather the required information for the next Land Working Group meeting.
