ISIMIP3b simulation round simulation protocol - all sectors combined
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 all sectors combined. 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.

|---|---|
| 1850soc |
Fixed year-1850 direct human influences (e.g. land use, nitrogen deposition and fertilizer input, fishing effort). Please label your simulations |

Varying direct human influences in the historical period (e.g. observed changes in historical land use, nitrogen deposition and fertilizer input, fishing effort). Please label your model run |
| 2015soc |
Fixed year-2015 direct human influences (e.g. land use, nitrogen deposition and fertilizer input, fishing effort). Please label your simulations |
| nat |

| 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:

Historic country-level GDP data are an extension of the historical data provided by Geiger, 2018 (https://www.earth-syst-sci-data.net/10/847/2018/essd-10-847-2018.html). They are derived mainly from Penn World Tables (PWT) for recent decades, and from the Maddison Project database (2018 version, https://www.rug.nl/ggdc/historicaldevelopment/maddison/releases/maddison-project-database-2018) for earlier periods where no PWT data is available. Gaps were filled using World Bank data (WDI). No interpolation to SSPs is performed for this historical dataset. |

Output data
ISIMIP output variables are usually reported with the dimensions (time,lat,lon). For variables with a number of levels (e.g. layers or depth), an alternative set of dimensions is given in the comment column in the table below. More information about level dimensions can be found here and here on the ISIMIP webpage.
Please note that unless otherwise defined, the variables in ISIMIP should be reported relative to the grid cell land area.

Harmonization
| Simulation | Specifier | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Default | default | Model should use their individual “best representation” of the historical period with regard to sowing dates, harvesting dates, fertilizer application rates and crop varieties. |
| Fully harmonized | fullharm | Simulations based on prescribed “present day” fertilization rates (available for download) and fixed planting and harvesting dates (also available for download). Modelers should have planting as closely as possible to these dates, but it may be admissible to use these dates as indicators for planting windows (depending on model specifics). |
| Harmonized seasons with no N constraints | harmnon | For models with an explicit description of the nitrogen cycle: harmnon simulations should be run with nitrogen stress turned off completely or (if that’s not possible) with very high N application rates to make model results comparable between those GGCMs that have explicit N dynamics and those that do not. For models without the nitrogen cycle: harmnon and fullharm simulations are the same and do not need to be duplicated. Please contact the sector coordination to push on with this side branch. |

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
sens-scenariois given in the experiments table, usedefault. - Data model is NETCDF4_CLASSIC with minimum compression level of
5. - NetCDF file extension is
.nc. - The relative time axis' reference year for ISIMIP3b is
1601. - for daily data use
standard,proleptic_gregorian,366_day,365_dayor360_daycalendar depending on the temporal resolution of your model and the360_daycalendar for non-daily data. - For fixed variables (e.g. cellarea, contfrac) omit the NetCDF-internal times dimension and the period identifiers in the file name.
Please name the files in the all sectors combined 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 all sectors combined 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
