FWIW @dlawrenncar with my fire runs on a somewhat old tag (tag1331_api81) with fire disturbance for the tropics only I get 1 deg tropics fire: ~530 pe-hrs/yr

@dlawrenncar yes, tropics only offline land. here is a fig for reference and coords below. Do you want me to kick off another run with a more recent tag? long=...

I should add that this is a 3PFT run with fire disturbance, so perhaps not directly comparable?

thanks for bringing this up @billsacks I will mention it in my "data" talk as a needed development

@ekluzek thanks for updating the plan in the comments above. We discussed this amongst the FATES folks today and, instead of limiting the FATES parameter file to match MEGAN, @rosiealice...

@ekluzek ok. we can talk more about it, but it sounds like this should work. To be clear the intention is that in the FATES parameter file a new field...

@ekluzek ok. I understand better your comment after looking at the file. it looks like as you said the MEGAN file is created for the 78 CTSM pfts and as...

thanks @lkemmons I will get in touch with you, and we can also set up a meeting with Alex Guenther. I will check in with a group of FATES folks...

Mary is correct that the fire model is looking to use cloud-to-ground lightning and only uses a portion of that. Within CTSM there is an "ignition efficiency" parameter that is...

@negin513 this appears to subset the files appropriately when I view them. I am trying to run a regional case and running into problems. I have been trying out a...
