History:: 2026-08-12 18:09:36 UTC: downloaded CARDAMOM_satellite_constrained_terrestrial_biosphere_reanalysis.nc4 from ORNL DAAC; extracted the median ensemble member (25th/75th percentiles retained as CF bounds where the variable derives from a single source term); masked grid cells breaching fixed physical bounds [C_som any>100000 (soil C > 100 kgC m-2; exceeded only by deep peat); C_cwd any>20000 (coarse woody debris > 20 kgC m-2); rh_co2 any>20 (Rh > 20 gC m-2 d-1 is not sustained by any ecosystem); H2O_LY3 any>10000 (soil layer 3 > 10 m water column); H2O_SWE mean>3000 (mean SWE > 3 m implies a glacier, which DALEC-CWE lacks); runoff any>30 (runoff > 30 kg m-2 d-1); D_TEMP_LY1 any>323.15 (soil T > 50 C exceeds the hottest skin temperature in the forcing (41.8 C))], applied per domain (carbon bounds to carbon variables, water bounds to water variables); converted to CF-compliant netCDF for ILAMB

Comment:: Grid cells whose state is non-physical have been masked; see the history attribute for the exact bounds. These arise where CARDAMOM's per-pixel initial conditions are poorly constrained (producing a decaying disequilibrium transient over 2001-2003) or over ice caps, which DALEC-CWE does not represent. The bounds are evaluated on the median member only; the 25th/75th bounds are the raw ensemble interquartile range and may exceed them at retained cells. IMPORTANT: CARDAMOM assimilates GRACE/GRACE-FO water storage, mean runoff (GRUN), satellite GPP and LAI, above- and below-ground biomass, harmonised soil organic carbon, MODIS snow-covered fraction, MOPITT-CO-derived fire emissions and CMS-Flux NBE, and is forced by ERA5 meteorology, atmospheric CO2 and prescribed burned area. Comparisons against models are therefore NOT independent of the corresponding ILAMB reference datasets; see README.md for the mapping and for which variables remain informative.
