Hello,
</p>
<p>
I noticed that the
<span class="caps">
ERA
</span>
-Interim caf files for INT2LM on mistral changed their soil depth.
<br/>
The new starter package is also adjusted to this (\chain\extensions\boundary_data\erainterim\templates\int2lm.job.tmpl).
<br/>
v2.1:
<code>
czml_soil_in=0.015, 0.1, 0.405, 1.205,
</code>
<br/>
v2.2:
<code>
czml_soil_in=0.035, 0.175, 0.64, 1.775,
</code>
</p>
<p>
I did simulations for 2002-2015 (with the old caf files) and wanted to start simulating the first part of 2016. So I have two questions.
</p>
<p>
1. Does anyone know why the change was made and if the resulting temperature and moisture on the
<span class="caps">
CCLM
</span>
grid will be the same (up to 1.2m)? (I use the 7 (or is it 8?) default layers)
</p>
<p>
2. Why is
<code>
ke_soil_in
</code>
always one smaller than the number of layers?

Hans-Juergen Panitz found this mistake that the soil depth was wrong. So that is why it was corrected. I cannot tell if the resulting temperature and moisture will be the same, but you can quickly check that yourself. If you type ncdump -V soil1 on a caf file you will see the values of the layers.

ke_soil_in are the levels, and czml_soil_in is the depth of the layers.
