Updates of the Site

• June 27 2006
  Problem: forcings of 2 days were missing, error in the hybrid coordinates
  Reported by: Pascal Marquet
  Solved by: New updated netcdf is put on the web.
• July 01 2006
  Problem: Error in the profile table for the 1d-composite case as given in the Appendix 1d
  Reported by: Roel Neggers
  Solved by: New profile table has been created and put in Appendix 1d .
• July 13 2006 Problem: Net imbalance of the large scale forcings in the free atmosphere causing possible instabilities after 3 days.
  Reported by: Roel Neggers and Pascal Marquet
  Solved by: Prescribed large scale forcings of the 1d composite case have been modified for z > 2100 m in the 1d setup description< .
• August 23 2006: Names of surface momentum flux and the precipation on the various levels have been changed 1d setup description< .
• August 23 2006: rho has been put in the file for instanteneous profiles and has been removed from the time series. 1d setup description< .
• August 23 2006: A Note has been made that for the independent height levels zh and zf the values for t=0 should be used. 1d setup description< .
• August 23 2006: A Note has been made that for the flux profiles of heat, moisture and momentum the sum of the contributions for the convection and the pbl scheme is expected.
• August 23 2006: The units for the integrated TKE were wrong. This has been rectified. 1d setup description< .
• August 24 2006: For those who have trouble generating netcdf for the SCM composite case an alternative ascii format has been formulated .
• August 31 2006: Please send a model description of your SCM. Typical points to adress are give here has been formulated .
• March 8 2011: View the submitted RICO results interactively at the GCSS model intercomparison website .
