BR in fincl( 3 ) not found

[jyangdas@gmail_com]

I try to run CESM1 under myself compset. It is very close to F_1850_WACCM run, but change the chemistry part to be -chem waccm_ghg and set the CLM_CO2_TYPE ="constant". The model can be configured and built successfully, but after submit it, the atm initialization failed and the following error message appears:

BLDFLD:nfmaster= 1129
FLDLST: BR in fincl( 3 ) not found
ENDRUN: called without a message string

Then, I try to add "BR" into the cam.buildnml.csh, re-configure, build and run. The same problem still maintains. Does anybody know how to solve it? Thanks.

It sounds like the problem is that you have removed most of the chemistry by choosing GHG mode, yet many chemical species (i.e. Br) remain requested for history output in the fincl lists in the namelist.

So I think rather than adding them to the namelist, you will want to remove them.

The preferred method for changing the namelist is via a user_nl_cam, as described in the CESM user guide, although editing the cam.buildnml.csh will certainly work too.

Thanks very much for your reply. Yes, the variable “BR” and others should be deleted from the cam namelist. After that, the model can run successfully.
