3) Please could all LSMs
rerun stage 3a (LSM forced by the SCM from stage
1b) because we have had two new SCMs in stage 1b since October. The new forcing
files are SCM13 and SCM14 linked from http://appconv.metoffice.com/dice/dice_files/dice_stage3forcing.html
4)
the new stage1a simulations from (2) mean we now have new datasets of surface
fluxes with which to drive the SCMs in stage 3b. We are still awaiting a
couple of these but these will all appear linked from the bottom of http://appconv.metoffice.com/dice/dice_files/dice_stage3forcing.html - note that files lsm01 to lsm12 are the same as before while the
rest are new. I will email again (hopefully next week!) when we have
the complete set and could all SCM groups rerun their models for these
new LSM forcing datasets in stage3b.
So, hoping that you are all
still set-up to turn the handle on these simulations fairly easily, we'd like to
ask that you email us back the results ideally by the
end of April or as early as possible in May. The GEWEX meeting is
in July so that doesn't leave long to analyse the results, hopefully in more
depth than at the October workshop. We also suggested at that workshop
that others in the group might like to get hold of the model data in order to
test their own ideas on coupling sensitivity, etc so please let me know if
you would be interested in doing that.
