GSWP2 ICC 0th order report

Tuesday, 17/8/04


GLASS: Global Land Atmosphere System Study
GSWP:Global Soil Wetness Project

Dear Participants,

This 0th order report aims to let hte data handling erros(s) emerge before further intercomparisons, and to stimulate the communications and discussions among GSWP2 participants before the coming GSWP2 meeting in Kyoto in September.

You will find two tables below that show the energy and water balances of your baseline simulation outputs.

Please notice that we simply calculated:

for global, 10-year mean from 1986 to 1995. Area of each grid is weighted in the global mean calculation.

If you find any problem in the tables, please contact us. For example, Sarith, who is participating with NSIPP-CATCH, have suggested us to exclude "Ice/Glacier" grids when calculating the global water balance. You can check your submitted outputs via ICC Scratch Pad Site.

Sincerely

Naota Hanasaki
