CAM things its an aqua planet when its not

[lappen7@gmail_com]

hi,

I am running CAM as part of CCSM (compset F). I have never set my run to be an aqua planet. But, when I run it, I get an error in tphysac.F90 that says:

"ENDRUN:TPHYSAC error: grid contains non-ocean point"

This error occurs because CAM is executing code that starts with If(aqua_planet) then…..

Aqua_planet should be set to false so I have no idea where it could be getting the notion that it is true. Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening?

All help is much appreciated,

Cara-Lyn

This is very strange. The F compset in CCSM4 does not support the aquaplanet mode. You need to run CAM standalone to do an aquaplanet run. The aqua_planet variable used in tphysac is set by the driver code. The namelist variable aqua_planet is set in the seq_infodata_inparm namelist group which is in the drv_in file. In a run using the CCSM scripts this file will be written in the directory $CASEROOT/run. Check there to make sure that aqua_planet wasn't set to .true..
