ISIMIP3b ocean data: IPSL-CM6A-LR Chlorophyll 3 orders of magnitude too high #33

issue

Matthias Büchner reported on Jan. 27, 2023.
All IPSL-CM6A-LR chlorophyll data are provided by ESGF in g m-3 instead of kg m-3 as expected in the CMIP6 data request [1]. This has also affected the remapped versions provided as ISIMIP3b input data for the Fisheries and Marine Ecosystems sector. Using a division by 1000, the data compares very well with the magnitude found in the other GCMs that provide ocean data.

The data will be fixed soon.
