ISIMIP3a Simulation Data from the Global Water Sector
Abstract
This dataset contains ISIMIP3a (www.isimip.org, Frieler et al. 2023) simulation data from 9 global water models: CLASSIC (Melton et al. 2020), CWatM (Burek et al. 2020), ELM-ECA (Zhu et al. 2019), H08 (Hanasaki et al. 2017, Yoshida et al. 2021), HydroPy (Stacke et al. 2021), JULES-ES-VN6P3 (), JULES-W2, JULES-W2-DDM30, LPJmL5-7-10-fire (Wirth et al. 2024, Oberhagemann et al. 2024), MIROC-INTEG-LAND (Yokohata et al. 2020, Pokhrel et al. 2014, Takata et al. 2003), ORCHIDEE-MICT, SSiB4-TRIFFID-Fire (Huang et al. 2020, Huang et al. 2021, https://github.com/hhllbao93/SSiB4-TRIFFID-Fire), VISIT (Ito et al. 2018), WaterGAP2-2e (Müller Schmied et al. 2021) and WEB-DHM-SG (Qi et al. 2022, Wang et al. 2009, Qi et al. 2019, Qi et al. 2020, Qi et al. 2022) The outputs are based on simulations according to the ISIMIP3a protocol (https://protocol.isimip.org). A more detailed description of the models are available on https://www.isimip.org. Version 1.1 of this dataset adds data from ELM-ECA and additional variables for WaterGAP2-2e, and solves an issue with MIROC-INTEG-LAND (https://data.isimip.org/caveats/40/). Version 1.2 of this dataset updates evaporation data from CWatM (https://data.isimip.org/caveats/57/). Version 1.3 of this dataset adds the models JULES-ES-VN6P3, ORCHIDEE-MICT, SSiB4-TRIFFID-Fire, and VISIT as well as some additional files for ELM-ECA and H08. Version 1.4 of this dataset adds the WEB-DHM-SG model. Version 1.5 of this dataset adds the LPJmL5-7-10-fire model and more climate forcings for CWatM. Version 1.6 of this dataset fixes an issue with airrusegreen and pirrusegreen files from LPJmL5-7-10-fire. Version 1.7 of this dataset fixes an issue with the layer definitions for soilmoist and soilmoistfroz for JULES-W2 (https://data.isimip.org/issues/73/). Version 1.8 of this dataset replaces the groundwstor files for H08 (https://data.isimip.org/issues/75/) and adds files for counterclim and 1901soc for CWatM. Version 1.9 of this dataset adds daily files for the swe variable for H08. Version 1.10 of this dataset replaces daily and monthly qtot files for MIROC-INTEG-LAND and 1901soc because of incorrect unit conversions in post-processing (https://data.isimip.org/issues/80/).
