Initial version of CLM5.0
This is the initial science version of CLM5.0.
Developments for CLM5.0 build on the progress made in CLM4.5. Most major components of the model have been updated with particularly notable changes made to soil and plant hydrology, snow density, river modeling, carbon and nitrogen cycling and coupling, and crop modeling.
The updates to CLM science are documented here:
This version has production versions of CLM5.0 CMIP6 land-use change files for 1850, historical, and 2000. It has preliminary versions of CMIP6 forcing files for Nitrogen deposition and population density. Further updates are needed for prescribed aerosols, and future scenarios.
Spunup initial conditions are provided for several CLM physics and forcing combinations from simulations run at 1-degree resolution (fv 0.9x1.25 with g1xv6 ocean mask).
