CESM Python Post Processing tools on Cheyenne

I have two questions related to running the CESM Python Post Processing tools - https://github.com/NCAR/CESM_postprocessing/wiki - on Cheyenne 1) I would like to run the “timeseries” post processing script to convert history time-slice data to variable time-series files but I only want it to process one variable from the history time-slice files (e.g. the "TEMP" variable) as opposed to all the variables in the history time-slice file. But having read the user guide and looked through env_timeseries.xml it is not clear how to do this. Perhaps this is not an option? 2) I am unable to successfully complete the ocn_diagnostics script and I think this is because the file/directory permissions do not allow access to the subdirectories in which the observational dataset are contained in /glade/p/cesm/omwg/obs_data/. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any advice on this would be much appreciated.

Hi there, for question #1, the timeseries depends on the PyReshaper tool (NCAR/PyReshaper). It is a light-weight tool that
only works on all variables found in a given archive history directory. There is no way to limit the variables to be read and converted to single
variable timeseries. As for question #2, check the logs/ocn_diagnostics.log.* and the logs/ocn_averages.log.* files to make sure there are no
errors and that the climo files exist.
