The Orchidee group found some incoherence between the Data Request version 01.00.11 and the ping_land.xml and ping_landIce.xml version : "Ping files generated by dr2xml 0.12 using Data Request 01.00.11"
The following 3 variables are set in ping_land.xml and ping_landice.xml but not in the Data Request version 01.00.11:
snm_land
snw_land
tsn_land
Corresponding variables snm, snw and tsn exist in ping and DR.
The variable agesno_land exist also in both ping_land and ping_landice but in the Data Request the variable is called agesno. agesno is missing in the ping.
The variable vegHeight_land exist in ping_land.xml but it is called vegHeight in the Data Request. vegHeight is missing in the ping.
