1. SPINUP simulation

• restart : None
• time period : continuous
• forcing : cylcing of the site forcing from the repository [IGCM/SRF/METEO/FLUXNET]
• CO₂ level : pre-indsutrial (1860, 286.42 ppm)
• vegetation fractions : 100% of corresponding PFT
• vegetation update : no
• analytical spinup : yes
• stop : when 'ok_equilibrium' flag in stomate restart file equals to 1

2. TRANSIENT simulation

• restart : SPINUP end
• time period : 1861 — the last year before the available year in the forcing
• forcing : cylcing of the site forcing from the repository [IGCM/SRF/METEO/FLUXNET]
• CO₂ level : corresponding to the simulation year
• vegetation update : no
• analytical spinup : no

3. HISTORICAL simulation

• restart : TRANSIENT end
• time period : corresponding to the available forcing
• forcing : site forcing from the repository [IGCM/SRF/METEO/FLUXNET]
• CO₂ level : corresponding to the simulation year
• vegetation update : no
• analytical spinup : no

4. Time-series (TS) and seasonal cycle (SE)

• frequency : daily
• smoothing : 15-days running averaging window

5. Diurnal cycle (DI)

• frequency : half-hourly
• period : July for the Northern hemisphere and January for the Southern hemisphere

6. Analysis metrics

• Root-mean-squared difference
  \( \mathsf{RMSD} = \sqrt{\overline{(x - y)^2}} \)
• Squared bias
  \( \mathsf{SB} = (\bar x - \bar y)^2 \)
• Squared difference between standard deviations
  \( \mathsf{SDSD} = \left(\mathsf{SD}_x - \mathsf{SD}_y \right)^2 = \left( \sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}{(x_i-\bar x)^2}} - \sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}{(y_i-\bar y)^2}} \right)^2 \)
  
• Lack of correlation weighted by the standard deviations
  \( \mathsf{LCS} = 2 \ \mathsf{SD}_x \ \mathsf{SD}_y (1-r) \)
  \( r = \left[ \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}{(x_i-\bar x)(y_i-\bar y)} \right] / (\mathsf{SD}_x \mathsf{SD}_y) \)
