Land working group, meeting notes 2026

17/03/2026

Participants: 11

Discussion on the experiments from Mat and Siyuan
Hoping to start this week.

Working group project

  • Ancillary workflow:

    • discussion on the vegetation mapping. Need a bigger discussion to decide on the additional data we need to generate the mapping for CABLE. Schedule the discussion at the working group level.
  • Met forcing pre-processor

    • Work on processing ERA5 is underway. It can process a month of ERA5 data at a time currently in a reasonable amount of time. Working towards shortening the time and/or processing more data at a time.
  • JULES vs CABLE comparison

    • waiting on the ancillary workflow
    • it would be good to have groundwater in CABLE for these comparisons
  • Historical branch merges

    • groundwater is slowly progressing
    • it is now possible to run BIOS from CABLE-POP_TRENDY branch
    • BLAZE needs to be ported to CABLE-POP_TRENDY branch
    • Then the major merge left will be CABLE-POP_TRENDY and main. It is unclear how this should progress. It would be good to discuss at the upcoming ESM/Land working groups workshop.
