Spin up for running Dynamic vegetation in Noah-MP 4.0.1

[Arijit22IITDelhi]

Hello, I was running Noah-MP version 4.0.1. I enabled the dynamic vegetation option to check GPP estimates. To get equilibrium carbon balance condition, how long spin up runs are recommended?

It depends on whether you consider the carbon accumulation in the soil and the impact of climate conditions. If so, my personal suggestion is to perform approximately 20-100 loops for a while.

Hi,
How many years are in one loop for Noah-MP? In addition, which carbon variables to check for the spinup?

Thanks.
