Final submitted DICE datasets

Datasets last updated with corrections/additions 16th May 2015
All the final submitted datasets have been processed into a consistent naming convection and format, that should make it easier to analyse, and these can be found in the following locations: Individual models' datasets are stored in a separate directory under the model's name. Where sensitivity test have been conducted with a model those datasets are stored in directories with the suffix "s#" and the sensitivity tests are described here .

Stage 3a forcing files

It might be helpful to know which models are used to give which forcing file in stage 3 (ie given here). Note that these SCM datasets were taken from the initial round of DICE stage 1b (SCM) submissions and so some models were subsequently added/altered and so the final submitted datasets above may not be entirely consistent with the stage3a forcing data.

Stage 3b forcing files

In the initial round of DICE stage 1a, several LSMs failed to submit a surface stress diagnostic and for still others I simply failed to pick up their submitted diagnostic from the file (many apologies to those concerned), and in those cases I used the observed u* instead. This does mean there is some inconsistency in those stage3b forcing datasets between their u* and their surface heat and moisture fluxes. These inconsistent models are indicated below by a (*). In addition, three LSMs have altered their model surface characteristics to reduce what were very high evaporation rates in their original set-up. These high evaporation forcing datasets (marked "orig" below) might need to be treated separately when analysing the Stage 3b SCM results, to avoid them dominating any signal.
