(1) I did specifiy " inithist='ENDOFRUN' " in the 'user_nl_cam'; I have no idea why the *.cam.i* did not generate.

Could you help me identify which command I’m missing? I’m trying to figure out how to set the command so that the *.cam.i* files are generated

(2) I upload the user_nl_cam, and the bash script I used to submit the job case.

Thank you very much.

Hi,

The name of the restart file you're looking for will be in rpointer.atm. It should be the ctr.BHIST.001.v213.t2.cam.r.1940-03-01-00000.nc file (rather than an cam.i file).

I hope I understood your question correctly and that helps!

Hi,


(1) I can succesuflly run the CESM 2.1.3 using the attached 'user_nl_cam' and 'ctr.BHIST.001.v213.t2.sh';

(1.1) the case name is 'ctr.BHIST.001.v213.t2'; and it can generate files (but I can not find *cam.i.*):

====================

(2) for the (1), its restart file dir is:

/scratch/user/AW/gcm_models/CESM/input_data_dirs/b.e21.BHIST.f09_g17/cesm2_init/b.e21.BHIST.f09_g17.CMIP6-historical.001

drwxr-xr-x 2 AW AW 4096 May 3 21:40 1940-01-01-00000


(2.1) I copied the generated 'rest/1940-03-01-00000' of (1) to restart file dir in (1): /scratch/user/AW/gcm_models/CESM/input_data_dirs/b.e21.BHIST.f09_g17/cesm2_init/b.e21.BHIST.f09_g17.CMIP6-historical.001/

now,

drwxrwxr-x 2 AW AW 4096 Jul 2 16:09 1940-03-01-00000

(3) then I used the the attached 'user_nl_cam' and 'ctr.BHIST.001.v213.t2.userest.sh' to submit case, this case name is 'ctr.BHIST.001.v213.t2.userest'; but this time the case has errors:

Thanks for elaborating!

Can you attach your atm.log file as well (for the case that you expect to be generating a cam.i file)?

Thank you for your reply; I attached the cesm.log file of the 'ctr.BHIST.001.v213.t2' ; I expected the case 'ctr.BHIST.001.v213.t2' would generate the *cam.i.* for the case 'ctr.BHIST.001.v213.t2.userest';

A couple further questions:

For your ctr.BHIST.001.v213.t2 case (that you expect should generate a cam.i file, can you
1. Check the run directory to make sure it's not there (and just wasn't archived for some reason)
2. Check run/atm_in and ensure that inithist = 'ENDOFRUN' (i.e. it isn't getting overwritten somehow)

If neither of those help, let me know and i will try to reproduce the behavior you're seeing on my end.
