UKCA Release Jobs/GA7p1 UKCA UM109

From UKCA

UM10.9 GA7.1 + UKCA Strattrop (N96L85) CMIP6 (emiss and RCP) TS2014

Suite-id

Met Office (XCS): u-as976
Monsoon: None: u-as976 is easily portable by changing SITE and MONSOON_ACCOUNT values via rose edit

Base/ inherited configuration

UM10.9 GA7.1 UKCA Strat+Trop+GLOMAP TS2000 suite 'u-as022 .


Deviations from base (as022)

  • Emissions and RCP values are those corresponding to Y2014 from CMIP6 forcing data
  • Tunings for ozone chemistry as lodged under UM ticket 3622:
 * Remove HO2 + NO bimolecular reaction
 * Use Log(pressure) while distributing the Lightning NOx emissions 
  • Primary Marine Organic Aerosol (PMOA) emissions calculated online, based on Chlorophyll-A concentrations (ancil) as a proxy for marine productivity. This implies that the scaling factor (x1.7) applied to Ocean DMS concentratations (seadms_ems_scaling=1.7) is no longer required.
  • Technical changes: Removed GA7p1 as optional configuration and imported all settings into default configuration. Changes made to ease portability to Monsoon2 HPC system.

Branches


Note: Branches accompanied by a metadata change will be combined into a Config branch, a working copy used as the suite's meta= setting and for the runtime STASHmaster.

Branch name Description Metadata
change?
vn10.9_ukca_remove_bimol_HO2_NO_rxn Removes the HO2+NO bi-mol reaction No
vn10.9_ukca_linox_fixratio Distributes Li-NOx emissions based on log(P) Yes
vn10.9_emission_max_files Increases the number of NetCDF emissions files to 100 Yes
vn10.9_ukca_q_min Applies a min. value filter to water vapour modified by UKCA chemistry No

Initialisation

The Met fields are beign initialised from the standard GA7 dump: /projects/ocean/hadgem3/initial/atmos/N96L85/ab642a.da19880901_00
The Aerosol and Chemistry tracers will initialise from a dump produced at the end of a 20-year spin-up run of the GA7.1+Strattrop AMIP run mi-aj670 - /data/d05/hadzm/dumps/aj670a.da20080901_00 (Monsoon2:/projects/ukca-admin/inputs/initial/N96eL85/aj670a.da20080901_00)

Emissions

As broadly described in here. Actual filenames can be seen in namelist values below.

Settings (incl. namelist settings)

Y2014 Trace Gas Concentrations

  • These have been specified as per CMIP dataset v6.1.1 or Eyring et al 2016. See detailed description here
  • The Y2014 values seen by UKCA are from file placed at /home/d05/hadzm/job_files/scenario_files/CMIP6_TraceGas_2014.dat (same location for MetoCray and Monsoon2)

RUN_Radiation GHG values

  • Panel: Sec 01 02 Radiation => Gas MMRs => Varying Gas MMRs: Set l_climcfg=False and then specify these values in the Gas MMRs' panel:
