The list of land variables requested by CMIP7 data request can be found here:

(Note: to use compound names: e.g. Lmon to filter and get requested variable list)

Based on meetings with land group, more cmorized variables are desired for supporting ilamb analysis. An CLM2 to CMIP conversion table was available (provided by @Daniel Ricciuto): /home/ac.ricciuto/models/ilamb_processing/alm2ilamb_wkflow/clm_to_mip.

Mean monthly comparison shows same spatial patterns and magnitudes in general. Differences between the raw data and CMIP6 data may be caused by the different remapping methods I was using to convert ne30 resolution (raw data) to 1-deg lat long (CMIP6).

fLitterSoil = (LITTERC_LOSS - LITTERC_HR - CWDC_HR - M_LITR1C_TO_FIRE - M_LITR2C_TO_FIRE - M_LITR3C_TO_FIRE)/1000

 

 

 

LITTERC_LOSS contain fluxes (1) from litter to soil = fLitterSoil (2) form litter to atmophsere part 1 = heterotrophic respiration (3) from litter to atmophsere part 2 = fire loss; therefore minus respiration and fire loss from LITTERC_LOSS, the rest is fLitterSoil
