Data

The CANARI-LE has now completed running on ARCHER2. The CANARI-LE consists of 40 ensemble members of both the CMIP6 historical simulation and SSP3-7.0. Data is stored on tape in JASMIN and priority data in stored on the JASMIN CANARI group workspace (gws).

Ensemble Details

Model: HadGEM3-GC1.3-MM, same configuration as used in CMIP6, global configuration version 3.1

Ocean: NEMO3.6

Atmosphere: UM

Sea Ice: CICE

Land: Jules

40 historical (1950-2014) ensemble members

40 future projection, SSP3-7.0 (2015-2100) ensemble members

More information on the CANARI-LE can be found here.

Data Access

To access the CANARI-LE data available on JASMIN you need to apply for access to the CANARI gws through the JASMIN accounts portal under the my services button.

CANARI-LE data can be found here (/gws/nopw/j04/canari/shared/large-ensemble/priority/). HIST2 contains the 40 historical ensemble members, 1950-2014, SSP370 the future projection ensemble members, 2015-2100, and HIST1 are the 4 historical ensemble members which were part of CMIP6, 1850-2014.

The list of priority variables are on this spreadsheet. You can find the long names for the variables and the short names used in the netcdf files. Please pay particular attention to the notes in red.

Useful Files

For the ocean the mesh_mask and subbasins files can be found in the CANARI gws here /gws/nopw/j04/canari/shared/large-ensemble/ocean
