Discussion on GEWEX-Pan-Glass and LSMS2 summit
If people want to coordinate what is presented at these meetings, it would be good to know. @gab is going to both, @siyuan is going to Pan-Glass, @clairecarouge and @lachlanswhyborn are going to LSMS2.
ESM1.6 evaluation
@inh599 looking for interest for a focus activity for this evaluation.
Use the same infrastructure as for CM3 and AM3. Provides a good infrastructure to coordinate the evaluation across several people.
@clairecarouge to look at running more ESM1.6 outputs through ILAMB. Need to advertise the ILAMB pipeline for ESM1.6 to the land community. It would be good to put the output on the web (me.org?) so it’s easier for the community to view. It would be good to have more than ESM1.6, for example, ESM1.5 ensemble mean or CMIP6 model mean.
Are we in a position to run the LMIP experiment? Probably not in our capacity to ensure we have a standalone version that is close enough to ESM1.6.
AM3 high resolution
Land-atmosphere analyses that would be of interest to run? Mat suggesting to look at soil moisture trends to ensure the initialisation is not too bad, but the run is quite short. Is 3 years too short?
Could be run through ILAMB, but not a lot of datasets at this resolution. Format of the output might not be compatible with ILAMB as is, UKMO has been using ILAMB so there might be a driver somewhere.
Comparison to flux towers: possible but be mindful of the heterogeneity of the gridcells.
Looking at intense weather events to get an idea of the value of the higher resolution.
