PAMIP - annual means requested for experiments that do not include a complete calendar year #127

Closed sol1105 closed 3 years ago

sol1105 commented 4 years ago

PAMIP defines experiments that start in April and end in May the following year. For example: pdSST-pdSIC description: "[...] Time slice simulations to begin on 1st April and run for 14 months, the first two months are ignored to allow for an initial model spin up. Minimum ensemble size is 100 simulations."

PAMIP requests annual mean data for this experiments: baresoilFrac | Eyr cropFrac | Eyr grassFrac | Eyr residualFrac | Eyr shrubFrac | Eyr treeFrac | Eyr vegFrac | Eyr zfullo | Eyr

Should this annual means be provided from June to May of the next year or should they be removed from the PAMIP data request for this experiments?

Kind regards Martin

I think it would be disruptive to change the request now, but it should be fixed in the next phase of CMIP. I've marked it for attention in the "forward look" repository .. see above.
