Updated temporal and spatial resolution for output variables


Posted by Jochen Klar on March 15, 2021

In order to increase the consistency of ISIMIP3 output data between sectors we adjusted the temporal resolution for the following variables:

  • gpp, evap, ra, npp, rh, rr, intercep, esoil, trans -> forestry: daily, other: monthly
  • soilmoist, sensheatf -> daily if possible, else monthly
  • thawdepth -> annual
  • lai -> daily else monthly (fixed if static)

If lai is static, the timestep specifier "fixed" can used.

We also updated the spatial resolution for:

  • qtot, qs, swe -> water_regional: 0.5° grid if possible, otherwise at gauge location, other: 0.5° grid
  • qr, dis, potevap, rootmoist, pirrww, airrww, pirruse, airruse, airrusegreen, pirrusegreen, arainfusegreen -> water_global: 0.5° grid, water_regional: 0.5° grid if possible, otherwise at gauge location
  • evap, soilmoist -> forestry: stand, water_regional: 0.5° grid if possible, otherwise at gauge location, other: 0.5° grid
  • soil, cveg, cvegag, cvegbg, clitterag, clitterbg, csoil, cproduct, gpp, ra, npp, rh, fapar, lai, intercep, esoil, trans, cleaf, cwood, croot, ccwd, tsl -> forestry: stand, other: 0.5° grid
  • rr -> biomes: 0.5° grid, forestry: stand
  • sensheatf -> fire: 0.5° grid, forestry: stand
