OMIP-BGC initial conditions

Fri, 21 Apr 2017 12:07:57 +0000

OMIP-BGC modelers will need initial conditions for tracer fields that will be simulated in OMIP's forced model runs. All 13 of these three-dimensional fields may be downloaded all at once by using the shell script wget_omip_initconds.sh. Download that script to a new directory, then execute it with the following command:

bash wget_omip_initconds.sh

Alternatively, download these files individually by clicking on the links below. Some information on the initial fields are given below; more details are provided by Orr et al. (2017).

OMIP-BGC boundary conditions

To make the OMIP-BGC simulations, model groups need boundary conditions for atmospheric gas concentrations of CFC-11, CFC-12, SF₆, and CO₂ as well as carbon isotope ratios (Δ¹⁴C and δ¹³C). These boundary conditions are described in Orr et al. (2017). To download them, click on the links below.
