Abstract:
Abstract. We present the latest global land configuration of the Joint UK Land
Environment Simulator (JULES) model as used in the latest international
Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6). The configuration is defined
by the combination of switches, parameter values and ancillary data, which
we provide alongside a set of historical forcing data that defines the
experimental setup. The configurations provided are JULES-GL7.0, the base
setup used in CMIP6 and JULES-GL7.2, a subversion that includes improvements
to the representation of canopy radiation and interception. These
configurations are recommended for all JULES applications focused on the
exchange and state of heat, water and momentum at the land surface. In addition, we provide a standardised modelling system that runs on the
Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) JASMIN cluster, accessible to all JULES users. This is provided so that
users can test and evaluate their own science against the standard
configuration to promote community engagement in the development of land
surface modelling capability through JULES. It is intended that JULES
configurations should be independent of the underlying code base, and thus
they will be available in the latest release of the JULES code. This means
that different code releases will produce scientifically comparable results
for a given configuration version. Versioning is therefore determined by the
configuration as opposed to the underlying code base.
