Hi All,
While I am using the mksurfdat tool, I found that there are three versions of present day urban raw data at /glade/p/cesm/cseg/inputdata/lnd/clm2/rawdata/. They are mksrf_urban_0.05x0.05_simyr2000.c120418/c120621/c170724.
By default, the mksurfdat tool will use the c120621 version urban raw data to generate any surface dataset at 2000. I am curious why the newer version of c170724 is not used here? I downloaded the c120621 and c170724 versions and found they have different values for many variables (e.g. ALB_IMPROAD, EM_IMPROAD, nlevurb...). I think running simulations with different versions of urban properties will impact the urban results to some extent.
I am wondering what is the reason to change these urban properties in the c170724 raw data compared to the c120621 version? Which version of urban raw data have more accurate urban properties and is preferred to use?
Thank you very much!
