JULES-W1 (formerly JULES_TUC) is one of the 13 global hydrology models following the ISIMIP2 protocols which form the base of simulations for the ISIMIP2 global water sector outputs; for a full technical description of the ISIMIP2a Simulation Data from Water (global) Sector, see this DOI link: http://doi.org/10.5880/PIK.2017.010

Information for the model JULES-W1 is provided for the simulation rounds shown in the tabs below. Click on the appropriate tab to get the information for the simulation round you are interested in.

Resolution
Spatial aggregation: regular grid
Horizontal resolution: 0.5°x0.5°
Temporal resolution of input data: climate variables: daily
Temporal resolution of input data: co2: annual
Temporal resolution of input data: soil: constant
Input data
Simulated atmospheric climate data sets used: MIROC5 (rcp45), HadGEM2-ES (rcp45), IPSL-CM5A-LR (rcp45), GFDL-ESM2M (rcp45), IPSL-CM5A-LR, HadGEM2-ES, GFDL-ESM2M, MIROC5
Observed atmospheric climate data sets used: EWEMBI
Emissions data sets used: Atmospheric CO2 concentration
Climate variables: sfcWind, tasmax, tas, tasmin, rlds, rsds, ps, pr
Exceptions to Protocol
Exceptions: River discharge is calculated with the CaMa-Flood v3.6 model (developed by Dai Yamazaki) which uses a different river topography compared to the DDM30 of the ISIMIP2b protocol. River network is therefore inconsistent to ISIMIP2b GHMs using the DDM30 river topography. Upstream area file is available as attachement.
Spin-up
Was a spin-up performed?: Yes
Spin-up design: 10 spinup cycles (1661-1663)
Natural Vegetation
Natural vegetation partition: static vegetation (5 types)
Management & Adaptation Measures
Management: No
Technological Progress
Technological progress: No
Soil
Soil layers: 4 soil layers
Routing
Runoff routing: Runoff simulated by JULES Joint UK Land Environment Simulator - version 4.7 used as input for the global river routing model CaMaFlood 3.6.2 to produce discharge.
Routing data: Routing data are described in Yamazaki, D., Kanae, S., Kim, H. and Oki, T., 2011. A physically based description of floodplain inundation dynamics in a global river routing model. Water Resources Research, 47(4). doi.org/10.1029/2010WR009726

Was the model calibrated?: No
Vegetation
Is co2 fertilisation accounted for?: Yes
How is vegetation represented?: Fixed plant characteristics
