[DATA REQUEST] NARCliM2.0 Australasia (AUS-18) dynamically downscaled from ACCESS-ESM1-5 historical using WRF412R3

[rbeucher]

Description of the data product

NARCliM2.0 climate projections dynamically downscaled from ACCESS-ESM1-5 r6i1p1f1 historical model using the WRF regional model version NARClIM2-0-WRF412R3. Domain covers a region encompassing CORDEX Australasia (AUS-18) at approximately 18km resolution in rotated grid format. The dataset includes 1-hour, 3-hour, daily and monthly data for variables such as temperature, humidity, wind, radiation and precipitation parameters. Data are provided at 1-hour steps for surface-level variables, other data at atmospheric pressure levels or subsurface processes is provided as 3-hour, daily and monthly data. Dataset includes all of CORDEX Core variables, most of the CORDEX Tier 1 and just over half of CORDEX Tier 2 variables.

Location of the data product on Gadi

Catalog available in: /g/data/zz63

I have completed a YAML for this dataset. Please confirm it is suitable (in particular, please confirm the models list is correct and complete; I was unsure if this was CMIP6 only, or should also be classed as ACCESS-ESM1.5):

Need to check if this affects us here:

Attention: NARCliM2.0 (zz63) Errata 26 September at 12:53 PM

Dear zz63 data users,

Datasets hosted under the zz63 data collection have been retracted due to the discovery of erroneous elements to the data. Specifically, the data issues reported are:

Title: Retraction of evspsblpot (all output)

Description: An issue has been identified with the calculation of potential evapotranspiration which results in values that are too high.

Affected files: /g/data/zz63/NARCliM2-0/output/CMIP6/DD//NSW-Government/////v1-r1//evspsblpot/*/

Title: Removal of convective rainfall parameter (prc) for 4km domain

Description: For the SEAus-04 domain, as WRF cumulus parameter scheme was not used for the convective scale modelling, the values for prc which had been mapped from an RCM parameter were blank.

Affected files: /g/data/zz63/NARCliM2-0/output/CMIP6/DD/NARCliM2-0-SEAus-04/NSW-Government/////v1-r1/*/prc

Data retraction is scheduled on Monday 30 September. Details of all current and past retractions and errata affected zz63 data hosted at NCI is recorded on our Community page.

If you have any concerns, please contact help@nci.org.au.

Regards,

NCI Data Collections

[marc-white]

Both affected variables exist in the catalog in /g/data/zz63/catalog/v2/esm. @rbeucher do we need to have NCI re-generated the intake-ESM catalog after the retraction?

[rbeucher]

I am hoping they will do that. It could take some time though...

[rbeucher]

Hi @marc-white ,

Have you contacted NCI?

[marc-white]

@rbeucher I have not, but I can. I presume I just hit the standard NCI help desk email...

[marc-white]

NCI have been pinged.

[rbeucher]

We can add that to our catalog. We will need to find a way to handle retracted datasets in the future..

[charles-turner-1]

Have requested zz63 membership, will get working on this data request as soon as it's approved.

[charles-turner-1]

@rbeucher given these are data downscaled with WRF, am I safe to assume realm is ("atmos",) for all? I'm currently working on that assumption unless specified otherwise.
