Soil Parameter Model Intercomparison Project (SP-MIP): Assessing the Influence of Soil Parameters on the Variability of Land Surface Models - Mean Output Files and Plotting Scripts

Mean output files of the Soil Parameter Model Intercomparison Project (SP-MIP): Assessing the Influence of Soil Parameters on the Variability of Land Surface Models, including scripts to produce the plots of Cuntz et al. (submitted to Geoscientific Model Development). Files are: gswp3.zip Mean forcing variables over 30 years koeppen-geiger.zip Köppen-Geiger classification map mean.zip Mean model outputs over 30 years scripts.zip Scripts to reproduce plots in Cuntz et al. seasmean2.zip Dry season averages. Dry season is summer in the extra-tropics and winter in the tropics, i.e. dry season is July, August, and September for −30° to 0° and 30° to 90°, and it is January, February, and March for −90° to −30° and 0° to 30°. soil_input.zip SP-MIP input soil textures and parameters To reproduce the plots of Cuntz et al. (submitted to Geoscientific Model Development), download all zipfiles. Unzip scripts.zip. Change into scripts directory and run do_paper_plots.sh. The directory includes also helper scripts to split PDF files, crop PDF files, and batch rename files. requirements.txt lists all external Python packages used, and can be used with pip in a virtual environment, for example. The plots in Cuntz et al. were produced with the option dousetex=1 in do_paper_plots.sh, which uses LaTeX with the font MyriadPro installed. A workflow in bash after download of all zipfiles could be: unzip scripts.zip cd scripts python -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate python -m pip install -r requirements.txt ./do_paper_plots.sh
