ISIMIP3a: MC2-USFS-r87g5c1 misconfigured #65

issue

Matthias Büchner reported on Aug. 26, 2024.
The MC2 modelling team has informed us that some problems with the model configuration have subsequently been identified. Firstly, as the model does not take direct human influences into account at all, the file specifier ‘histsoc’ needs to be replaced by ‘nat’. The data can still be used subject to this restriction. Secondly, the ‘1901co2’ sensitivity experiment driven by GSPW3-W5E5 did not have appropriate fire settings, resulting in incorrect carbon output. And last but not least, the runs for the GSPW3-W5E5 obsclim experiment ‘nofire’ were performed with fire during the spin-up.

We are now expecting updated data for the ‘1901co2‘ and ‘nofire‘ experiments and will replace the data in the portal as soon as possible. At the same time the renaming of ‘histsoc’ will be done accordingly.
Matthias Büchner commented on Sept. 19, 2024.
It turned out that all data generated by MC2-USFS-r87g5c1 for ISIMIP3a had to be replaced as some of the MC2 output variables were suboptimal representatives of output variables requested by ISIMIP 3a protocol. These errors have been amended and an updated MC2 model output dataset for 3a was submitted. Finally, the output now includes the “counterclim” experiment that was not previously submitted.

All data were experiment allign with the simulation protocol can now be found in the OutputData section (version 20240919) whereas those that do not fit are published in SecondaryOutputData, namely "counterclim_nat_obsco2", "obsclim_nat_1901co2" and "obsclim_nat_nofire".
