Important notes regarding the 'nat' simulation:
- The surface roughness due to vegetation cover was incorrectly set to
present-day, rather
than pre-industrial, values during this simulation.
This results in a step-change
between this 'nat' simulation and the 'all' simulation
in 1750 (because the
vegetation roughness is changed to pre-industrial cover at the start of the
'all'
simulation). Simon Tett will be calculating some correction fields for
each variable, which can be applied to the 'nat' simulation data to remove
the vegetation error effects.
- The data files run from 1492-1999, but in SO&P we are using data
from 1500-1999 only.
