CMIP5 Provider FAQ

UK Met. Office (MOHC)

This wiki page provides details on both scientific and data provision issues identified with the Met Office Hadley Centres (MOHC) data/metadata submissions to the CMIP5 archive. The issues are listed by model and experiment.

Data Availability

Some users have reported difficulties in finding some of our datasets through the CMIP5 gateways. We recommend that users should access the BADC gateway to find the most complete view of what we have delivered.

A summary of our deliveries is presented below (no. of ensemble elements in parenthesis)

HadGEM2-ES

Science Issues

Impacts: all ensemble members of historicalGHG
Issue: It has been discovered that the CO2 forcing applied from 2020 onwards was incorrect. All data from 2020 onwards is therefore incorrect.
Resolution: The model will be rerun to replace the bad data
Reported: 14 February 2012

Initialisation Methods

amip
  • Description:
    • Six element ensemble using three different types of initialisation (i1, i2 and i3 - see below)
  • r1i1p1:
    • Initialised from the HadGEM2-ES historical simulation (1978-09-01)
  • r1i2p1:
    • Atmosphere only initialisation from same run as r1i1p
  • r2i3p1:
    • Initialisation from r1i2p1 (2001) - atmosphere and land surface variation
  • r3i2p1:
    • Initialisation from r1i2p1 (2001) - atmosphere variation only
  • r4i3p1:
    • Initialisation from r3i2p1 (2008) - atmosphere and land surface variation
  • r5i3p1:
    • Initialisation from r4i3p1 (2008) - atmosphere and land surface variation

HadCM3

Science Issues

Impacts:

so (ocean salinity) variable for all HadCM3 simulations submitted in 2011

Issue:

The transformation from model output to the CMIP5 files has resulted in a number of small negative values for salinity. Also on a very infrequent basis the negative values can be more significant.

Resolution:

The existing data will not be replaced - negative salinity values should be treated as zero. All HadCM3 data delivered in 2012 (decadal infill ensembles 1961, 1962, etc.) does not contain negative salinity values.

Reported:

14 February 2012


Data Issues

decadal ensembles

There are no known data issues with the HadCM3 decadal_anomaly ensembles or the decadal_fullfield ensembles.

Initialisation Methods

decadal ensembles

Description:

Fifty ensembles each with ten elements (r1 to r10) for the period 1960-2009 inclusive. For 1960, 1980 and 2005 the ensembles run for 30 years; all of the others run for 10 years each. Initial ocean conditions are representative of the observed anomalies or fullfield for the start date. The atmospheric composition (and other conditions including volcanic aerosols) are as prescribed in the historical run and the RCP4.5 scenario of the long-term suite of experiments. The ensemble is produced by SST perturbation (i.e. different inputs). The first element in each ensemble is initialised by the anomaly-assimilation or the fullfield-assimilation run. The other nine members in each ensemble use identical atmospheric initial conditions. The oceanic initial conditions are also the same except that the SSTs are perturbed with white noise in the order of 5x10-7 K. The SST perturbation is done via an external script and entered through the oceanic startup dump file. The anomaly ensembles are signified by i2 and the fullfield ensembles by i3 (see below).

  • i1:
    • Uninitialised (i.e. initialised from a model dump rather than observations)
  • i2:
    • Initialised from observations using an anomaly initialisation method
  • i3:
    • Initialised from observations using a fullfield initialisation method
