ISIMIP3b simulation round simulation protocol - Terrestrial biodiversity
Introduction
General concept
The Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP) provides a framework for the collation of a consistent set of climate impact data across sectors and scales. It also provides a unique opportunity for considering interactions between climate change impacts across sectors through consistent scenarios.
ISIMIP is intended to be structured in successive rounds connected to the different phases of the climate model intercomparison CMIP (ISIMIP Mission & Implementation document).
The main components of the ISIMIP framework are:
- A common set of climate and other forcing data which will be distributed via a central database;
- A common modelling protocol to ensure consistency across sectors and scales in terms of data, format and scenario set-up;
- A central archive where the output data will be collected and made available to the scientific community.
ISIMIP3b
GCM-based simulations assuming fixed 2015 direct human influences for the future
The ISIMIP3b part of the third simulation round is dedicated to a quantification of climate-related risks at different levels of climate change and socio-economic conditions. The group 1 simulations refer to the pre-industrial and historical period of the CMIP6-based climate simulations. Group 2 covers all future projections assuming fixed 2015 levels of socio-economic forcing and different future projections of climate (SSP126, SSP37 and SSP585). Group3 simulations account for future changes in socio-economic drivers and are intended to be started in summer 2021.
You can find the ISIMIP3a protocol, which is is dedicated to impact model evaluation and improvement and detection and attribution of observed impacts, here.
Simulation protocol
In this protocol we describe the scenarios & experiments in ISIMIP3b simulation round, the different input datasets, the output variables, and how to report model results specifically for Terrestrial biodiversity. An overview of all sectors can be found at protocol.isimip.org.
Throughout the protocol we use specifiers that denote a particular scenario, experiment, variable or other parameter. We use these specifiers in the tables below, in the filenames of the input data sets, and ask you to use the same specifiers in your output files. More on reporting data can be found at the end of this document.
Model versioning
To ensure consistency between ISIMIP3a and ISIMIP3b as well as the different experiments within a simulation round, we require that modelling groups use the same version of an impact model for the experiments in ISIMIP3a and ISIMIP3b. If you cannot fulfill this, please indicate that by using a suffix for your model name (e.g. simple version numbering: MODEL-v1, MODEL-v2 or following semantic versioning: MODEL-2.0.0, see also reporting model results).
This versioning does not only apply to changes in the computational logic of the model, but also to input parameters, calibration or setup. If model versions are not reported, we will name them according to the simulation round (e.g. MODEL-isimip3a). We require the strict versioning to ensure that differences between model results are fully attributable to the changes in model forcings.

Scenario specifier | Description |
---|---|
default | For all experiments other than the sensitivity experiments. |
2015co2 | CO₂ concentration fixed at 2015 levels. |
General note regarding sensitivity experiments
The sensitivity experiments are meant to be "artificial" deviations from the default settings. So for example if your model does not at all account for changes in CO₂ concentrations (no option to switch it on or off) the run should be labeled as default
in the sensitivity specifier of the file name even if the run would be identical to the 1850co2
sensitivity setting.
The particular sensitivity scenario for an experiment is given in the experiments table below. For most experiments no sensitivity scenario is given, so the default
label applies.

Note regarding models requiring spin-up
For models requiring spin-up, please use the pre-industrial control data and CO₂ concentration and DHF fixed at 1850 levels for the spin up as long as needed. Please note that the "pre-industrial control run" from 1601-1849 is part of the regular experiments that should be reported and hence the spin-up has to be finished before that.
Input data
The base directory for input data at DKRZ is:
/work/bb0820/ISIMIP/ISIMIP3b/InputData/
Further information on accessing ISIMIP data can be found at ISIMIP - getting started.
Some of the datasets are tagged as mandatory. This does not mean that the data must be used in all cases, but if your models uses input data of this kind, we require to use the specified dataset. If an alterntive data set is used instead, we cannot consider it an ISIMIP simulation. If the mandatory label is not given, you may use alternative data (please document this clearly).
Climate forcing
The climate forcing input files can be found on DKRZ using the following pattern:

Reporting model results
The specification on how to submit the data, as well as further information and instructions are given on the ISIMIP website at:
https://www.isimip.org/protocol/preparing-simulation-files
It is important that you comply precisely with the formatting specified there, in order to facilitate the analysis of your simulation results in the ISIMIP framework. Incorrect formatting can seriously delay the analysis. The ISIMIP Team will be glad to assist with the preparation of these files if necessary.
File names consist of a series of identifier, separated by underscores. Things to note:
- Report one variable per file.
- In filenames, use lowercase letters only.
- Use underscore (
_
) to separate identifiers. - Variable names consist of a single word without hyphens or underscores.
- Use hyphens (
-
) to separate strings within an identifier, e.g. in a model name. - If no specific

Please name the files in the Terrestrial biodiversity sector according to the following pattern:
<model>_<climate-forcing>_<bias-adjustment>_<climate-scenario>_<soc-scenario>_<sens-scenario>_<variable>_<region>_<time-step>_<start-year>_<end-year>.nc
and replace the identifiers with the specifiers given in the tables of this document. Examples would be:
lpjml_gfdl-esm4_w5e5_picontrol_histsoc_default_qtot_global_annual_2001_2010.nc
lpjml_ukesm1-0-ll_w5e5_ssp585_2015soc_2015co2_yield-mai-noirr_global_annual_2006_2010.nc
The following regular expression can be used to validate and parse the file name for the terrestrial biodiversity sector:
(?P<model>[a-z0-9-+.]+)_(?P<climate_forcing>[a-z0-9-]+)_(?P<bias_adjustment>[a-z0-9-]+)_(?P<climate_scenario>[a-z0-9-]+)_(?P<soc_scenario>[a-z0-9-]+)_(?P<sens_scenario>[a-z0-9-]+)_(?P<variable>[a-z0-9]+)_(?P<region>(global))_(?P<time_step>[a-z0-9-]+)_(?P<start_year>\d{4})_(?P<end_year>\d{4}).nc
For questions or clarifications, please contact info@isimip.org or the data managers directly (isimip-data@pik‐potsdam.de) before submitting files.
