Ensemble Type Code List

[allyn]

I think that the EnsembleType? codelist used in the CIM contains more

terms than the Questionnaire. Can you tell me if this is an acceptable list of ensemble types, or if there are missing or innappropriate types:

>    <xs:enumeration value="Perturbed Boundary Conditions"/>
>    <xs:enumeration value="Cross Model"/>
>    <xs:enumeration value="Initial Condition"/>
>    <xs:enumeration value="Model Modification"/>
>    <xs:enumeration value="Staggered Start"/>
>    <xs:enumeration value="Perturbed Physics"/>
>    <xs:enumeration value="other"/>

Is a multi-model ensemble (e.g all of CMIP5) the same as a "cross model" ensemble? I think the MME is the more common name.

Two changes I think:

• Multi-Model Ensemble instead of cross model.
• Remove Model Mod ensemble (it's the same as perturbed physics I think)

The set of ensembles has been agreed by Charlotte and is compatible with the Questionnaire. The above two changes did not make it into CIM v1.5.
