9. JULES Output variables

Variables that are available for output from JULES are listed in this section, separated according to the broad area of science. If a variable cannot be found, users should also check in related sections.

Note

Most variables are output on the full model grid (even for variables defined on land points only).

Most river variables are output on the river routing model grid, which is a 1D grid defined on the valid river routing points only. These are indicated by names ending in _rp and have a single spatial dimension of size np_rivers. A regridded version of some river variables can also be output on the full model grid.”

Any points on the grid for which a variable is not defined with be filled with a missing data value.

Any variables also available on soil tiles are indicated next to their non-soil-tiled analogues, e.g. var[_soilt], in which case they have an additional dimension of size nsoilt.

All variables include a land point dimension, unless specified otherwise.

The sizes of dimensions are indicated in the tables below using links to other sections of this documentation, wherever possible. Other sizes are discussed in the table below.
