    Different results of iCESM

    Hi, When I run the iCESM1.2, I was puzzled by its' results. First I ran a simulation of iCESM.1.2 from 1975 to 2005(FAMIPC5CN), but something went wrong with the machine, and I only got the result from 1995 to 1998. So I ran a new simulation from 1995 to 2005, and want to make the results...

    Changing the time step size for SCAM Experiment

    Hi, I have been running SCAM experiments using one of the provided IOPs, and a default time step size of 1200s (EUL, 64 x 128 grid). I would like to now change the resolution of the time step, and am unsure which is the correct variable to change. I am running experiments via CESM2.1.0, and...

    How to get the result of cloud water path for different tags?

    Hi! I want to got the Total grid-box cloud ice water path (TGCLDIWP) or cloud water path for different tags. I added the output variable in the same way: fincl1="TGCLDIWP_NAO","TGCLDIWP_PAC"...... However, when I submit the simulation, it will report an error: FLDLST: TGCLDIWP_NAO in fincl( 1...

    How to calculate precipitation water vapor(PWV) from different source?

    Hi~ I used the iCESM1.2 to simulate water vapor from different regions. The results include precipitation(PRECC,etc), H2O isotope mmr for VAPOR,H2O isotope mmr for LIQUID, etc. How can I get the precipitable water vapor(PWV) from different source? Only the Total (vertically integrated)...

    Model parameters do not match initial dataset parameters

    I am receiving the following error after starting a run, before the first timestep occurs, at the ingestion of the inital data file that I'm pointing to via NCDATA in user_nl_cam: read_initial: model parameters do not match initial dataset parameters Model Parameters: plon = 1...

    Possible to output history for only specific months?

    I am planning to do some F-compset runs of CESM2 at fixed CO2 that cover multiple decades and need history output for multiple large variables like temperature and winds at high time resolution (every hour). The history files take up a lot of space, and writing the files seems to slow down the...

    [Question] Modifications of SW and LW flux at certain layers

    Dear CESM community, My colleague and I are trying to perform some simulations using CESM1.2.2 that modify SW and LW at different layers. For example, we want to modify the model to reflect more SW upward or reduce the outgoing longwave at the atmospheric layer near the tropopause. I checked...

    Build a new case after modifying module code in CAM6-CESM2.2

    Greetings, I am modifying a module in the CAM6.0 (nudging.F90) and in during the process to build a case I get this message and the case is not completely built. Somebody knows why this directory is not created? Thanks in advance

    How Parallel Offline Radiative Transfer Model (PORT) continue with restart file

    Dear all, I'm using PORT and drive it with offline data for many years. For example, running over input data for years 0001-0010. What I have tried is set the "offline_driver_fileslist" and I have successfully finish year 0001. Then at year 0002, I set and replace the offline_driver_fileslist...

    Creating data streams - CESM2.2

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if the process to create new data streams in CESM2.2 is similar to previous version. I found this old documentation (https://www.cesm.ucar.edu/models/cesm1.2/cesm/doc/modelnl/nl_datm.html#stream), and I would like to know if I could use it for new cases in the...

    Add/create a passive tracer in CAM

    Dear all, I am trying to learn how to add a passive tracer in the CAM module but am still confused after some previous posts: (e.g., CAM tracer https://bb.cgd.ucar.edu/cesm/threads/help-about-passive-ozone-in-cesm.2595/...

    Understanding proper usage of create_clone for cases that are designed to resubmit from restart files

    I have a case that I have set to resubmit 5 times, writing a restart file at the end of each run: ./xmlchange STOP_OPTION=ndays ./xmlchange STOP_N = 720 ./xmlchange REST_OPTION=ndays ./xmlchange REST_N=720 ./xmlchange RESUBMIT=5 I'm not absolutely sure that this usage is correct, but it does...

    Meteorological data sets

    Hi all, I am reading the documentation for CAM6.0, and in chapter 7about input datasets, in section 7.5 for meteorological data sets it is claimed that CAM uses GEOS5 and MERRA2 meteorological reanalysis. How could I know which datasets are used?. Both?. How could I customize that input? Is...

    SourceMods with redundant filenames

    Say I want to build the model with a modification to CAM in the file src/physics/simple/physpkg.F90 How do I ensure that the model knows to modify this file rather than src/physics/cam/physpkg.F90? Should I insert this into SourceMods in the CIME case directory by replicating the directory...

    How to diagnose the CH4 radiative forcing?

    Hi! I am a green hand of CESM , and recently I have been learning how to diagnose the radiative forcing. The guidance includes radiative forcing diagnosis for aerosols, such as modified the user_nl_cam to dignosed the Black carbon radiative forcing:(9. Physics modifications via the namelist —...

    How to properly turn on AOA tracers?

    I am trying to perform a simple Held-Suarez configuration in CAM, with AOA tracers active. I first spun up the model with a period of 1.5 years without including -age_of_air_trcs to CAM_CONFIG_OPTS I am then trying to do a longer run using this spun up state as the initial condition. For this...

    Influence of CO2 in CESM

    Hello, I want to find out more about how CO2 influences for example on the global temperature, and how this is reflected in the model (theoretically). Therefore, I'm trying to find the underlying equations in the CESM1 or 2 model which depend on values/parameters related to CO2. I've searched in...

    where to get the available history variable for certain compset

    hello! i was testing a dry dynamical core run and add some output variables in user_nl_cam files. however, it turned out that some variables are not available in this idealized run. i just wonder generally where can we get a list of available variables for certain compset? i found a master field...

    The questions about namelist.

    Hi. I just started to get in touch with CESM, I made the modification according to the guidance on calculating aerosol radiative forcing in CAM6.3, but it failed, I suspect I made a mistake when I modified namelist, my method is to copy the code that needs to be modified directly into the last...
