Model output

We ask for a NetCdf file which contains all of the mandatory output (if available) from version 3 of the ALMA convention for model output, with the exception of the carbon budget. Also please additionally include "Qtau" (surface momentum flux), even though that is only "recommended" under the ALMA convention.

The sign convention for the output should be taken from the Traditional definition and not the Mathematical definition.

All data should be given as 10-min averages.

If you have problems in generating netcdf files please contact us.

Filename

The filename should be composed as:

dice_lsm_<institute>_<model>_<stageX>_<ver>_<scmX>.nc

where
<institute> name or acronym of your institute
<model> acronym of your model
<stageX> stage of the intercomparison ("stage1a", "stage2", etc)
<ver> version of your submission (v10, v11, etc)
<scmX> For stage 3 only include the SCM number from the driver file
(ie _scm01 for simulation driven by LSM model 01, etc)

Note: Spaces and underscores are not allowed in these strings.

example: dice_lsm_meto_gl4.0_v1.nc
or for stage 3: dice_lsm_meto_gl4.0_v1_scm06.nc
