Land Use

[HoWol76]

Land use: same as historical CMIP6 forcing (‘LUH2’), which as been extended to cover 850–2015 CE. From the looks of it, it’s LUH2 v2h, downloadable from http://luh.umd.edu/data.shtml

Section 2.2.1 of the ESM paper states that the capability exists to modify land use through the model run. The details of how this is accomplished however are not specified

[ScottWales]

We can derive the weights for changing from LUH categories to CABLE categories by matching up the historical datasets, and then doing e.g. a scipy.optimize.minimize to work out the per-land tile weights. This produces a good match when I try for the melbourne grid cell, with the LUH data conservatively regridded to the ESM grid
