Latest version of vn 6.1 HadGEM2-A?

[iamack]

Hello,

I'm running HadGEM2-A, vn6.1, on HECToR (job xfdrc, N96,L38) which is based on a job obtained from the Met Office just over a year ago. I'd like to check if there have been any further developments of this model version. Can you please confirm the jobid of the latest supported version of HadGEM2-A? The only standard job I am aware of is xczia.

Regards

Ian

Hello Ian,

The development of HADGEM2-A at the Met Office for IPCC has been done with respect to version 6.6 and the Met Office have released version 6.6.4 which will be the version we will support on HECToR. We haven't installed this yet as we were trying to sort out if the IPCC run version (vn6.6.3 with many branches) would be the same as vn 6.6.4. We have been told that they are scientifically the same even if they don't bit compare. So our decision is that we only support version 6.6.4. We hope to have this version installed on HECToR and a standard job available soon.

So as far as I am aware no development has been done at the Met Office on the the HADGEM2-A job for version 6.1.

Thanks Lois,

That information is very helpful. I'll be interested in vn 6.6.4 when
it becomes available.
