1 | | -Added data with the source ID `FZJ-CMIP-ozone-2-0` and recommended that the historical data from `FZJ-CMIP-ozone-1-2` not be used for historical simulations |
| 1 | +Added data with the source ID `FZJ-CMIP-ozone-2-0`. |
| 2 | +This data updates the historical forcing data provided in `FZJ-CMIP-ozone-1-2`. |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +As a result of an issue being found ([#400](https://github.com/PCMDI/input4MIPs_CVs/issues/400)), |
| 5 | +models that rely on exogenous ozone forcing are now required to use different versions of the ozone files |
| 6 | +for pre-industrial control (and related) simulations and historical (and related) simulations. |
| 7 | +For all historical (and related) simulations, files with the source ID `FZJ-CMIP-ozone-2-0` should be used. |
| 8 | +For pre-industrial control (and related) simulations, files with the source ID `FZJ-CMIP-ozone-1-2` should be used |
| 9 | +(note that this guidance differs from the email communication sent by the CMIP IPO on 12 February 2026). |
| 10 | +For details of your options for pre-industrial control simulations, |
| 11 | +please see [the ozone dataset page](https://input4mips-cvs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dataset-overviews/ozone/). |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +The CMIP Panel co-chairs are recommending that, |
| 14 | +for modelling centres who rely on ozone as an external forcing, |
| 15 | +historical, and other relevant DECK (e.g., AMIP), simulations |
| 16 | +should be re-run with the `FZJ-CMIP-ozone-2-0` ozone if possible. |
| 17 | +(Pre-industrial control simulations do not need to be re-run |
| 18 | +because they are unaffected by the release of `FZJ-CMIP-ozone-2-0`.) |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +If any modelling centres cannot re-run their historical simulations, |
| 21 | +they should contact the ozone forcing providers for guidance on |
| 22 | +how to ensure a smooth connection between the scenario ozone forcing files. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +If any modelling centres run historical simulations |
| 25 | +with both the `FZJ-CMIP-ozone-1-2` and `FZJ-CMIP-ozone-2-0` forcing, |
| 26 | +these simulations would be of interest to the Forcings Task Team. |
