1 | Stratospheric aerosol files for LMDz can be created by running on ciclad the script |
---|
2 | ./volc.sh |
---|
3 | which itself prepares two more files and submit a job on ciclad which may take a day to run. |
---|
4 | |
---|
5 | The stratospheric AOD data originates from data prepared by Beiping Luo ETZH for CMIP6. |
---|
6 | See http://www.wcrp-climate.org/wgcm-cmip/wgcm-cmip6 |
---|
7 | and ftp://iacftp.ethz.ch/pub_read/luo/CMIP6/ |
---|
8 | The data were provided in June 2016 and were not versioned (but were later referred as v2). |
---|
9 | A new version (v3) was made available on 15 September 2017 due to a glitch in the 1970s data. |
---|
10 | The new version also modified the trend in the background aerosol. |
---|
11 | |
---|
12 | Beiping calculated for the solar radiation 8 bands (bands 1-6 for the SW 6 bands |
---|
13 | model and 7-8 for the SW 2 bands model) and likewise for the 16 bands of the RRTM LW model. |
---|
14 | |
---|
15 | The data are processed in IDL on ciclad for different resolutions |
---|
16 | of the IPSL model and aerosol optical properties are generated for AOD, |
---|
17 | omega and g per model layer (SW), and absorption AOD per model layer (LW). |
---|
18 | |
---|
19 | The stratospheric aerosol data extends into the troposphere but a mask is applied |
---|
20 | in the LMDz model to remove tropospheric data. The data are interpolated on the vertical |
---|
21 | from the CMIP6 altitude coordinate (z, resolution 0.5 km) to the model coordinate (sigma). |
---|
22 | This is done using a monthly (10-year mean) climatology of the geopotential height. |
---|
23 | zalt_LR_l79.nc = 10 yr climatology from a coupled IPSL-CM6.0.12 simulation |
---|
24 | zalt_zonmean_LR_l79.nc = zonal mean of the above file (cdo zonmean zalt.nc zalt_zonmean.nc) |
---|
25 | zalt_zonmean_LR_l79_rev.nc = same as above but ferret'ized so that can be read in idl |
---|
26 | |
---|
27 | |
---|
28 | The data are on ciclad (currently in /data/$USER/CMIP6/VOLC/) |
---|
29 | |
---|
30 | Annual files: taulwstrat.2D.$year.nc and taulwstrat.2D.$year.nc |
---|
31 | to be used for historical simulations |
---|
32 | |
---|
33 | In September 2017 the processing idl routine was to v4 changed to rely on climatological LMDz altitudes |
---|
34 | that vary monthly and with latitude (based on GEOP variable Z=GEOP/RG/1000 [in km]). |
---|
35 | |
---|
36 | Average 1850-2014 conditions (no seasonal cycle): taulwstrat.2D.ave.nc and tauswstrat.2D.ave.nc |
---|
37 | to be used for piControl, pdControl and for scenario runs (past a 10 year transition from 2014 conditions) |
---|
38 | subject to changes in the protocol |
---|
39 | |
---|
40 | Transition 2015-2014 conditions: to be done. |
---|
41 | |
---|
42 | CMIP6 stratospheric aerosols are activated in LMDz with flag_aerosol_strat=2 |
---|
43 | |
---|
44 | Files to be renamed as taulwstrat.2D.nc and tauswstrat.2D.nc for use by LMDz |
---|
45 | No additional interpolation between months is done. |
