IPCC output requirements adaptation to MOTIF


 

You will find on this page how the IPCC output requirements have been adapted to the MOTIF project.

The differences are listed for each IPCC output document (as defined in the MOTIF and the IPCC Requirements page), in approximatively the order in which they appear in the document.

  1. Requirements for IPCC Standard Output

  2. IPCC Standard Output

  3. CMOR IPCC configuration tables

    The MOTIF CMOR configuration files have the following name template :
        PMIP2_table_[vartype]_[subtype]
    where vartype is the type of variable (Atmosphere, Ocean, land-Surface and vegetation, Ice), and subtype is a two character (more characters later, if the need arises) string specifying the output frequency.

    The structure of the tables is as close as possible to what is required by IPCC, but the frequency subtypes have been chosen to be easier to remember:

    Mean type IPCC subtype PMIP2 subtype
    Time independent (fixed) 1 FX
    Seasonal cycle
    (SE)
    n/r SE
    Yearly
    (AN)
    n/r AN
    Monthly 1 MO
    Daily 2 DA
    3-hourly 3 n/r
    Extreme indices 4 n/r
    Radiative forcing
    (monthly)
    5 n/r
    Xtra-high frequencies requested by some sub-projects (but not stored in the database)
    Daily resolution
    (variables not requested in DA)
    n/r X1
    12-hourly resolution n/r X2
    6-hourly resolution n/r X4
         n/r = not requested

    Note: make sure you always use the latest version of the tables! The version number is the date of the most recently modified table. You can grab the latest version of each file in the table below, or (better) get the tar file with all the tables.

    The current version is (year_month_day) : 05_03_14.
