CLM3.5-CN w/ faerdep & fsoilcarb

[cory_pettijohn@oregonstate_edu]

Hello, I have been using Stoeckli's modelfarm to drive CLM-CN in point mode using AmeriFlux tower data. While I have been playing around with the preliminary CLM3.6v2-CN contained in modelfarm, I am reverting to CLM3.5-CN for my current work. While I defined the model input datasets 'faerdep' (aerosoldep_monthly_080807.nc) and 'fsoilcarb' (soilcarb_c080807.nc) in the clm3.6 namelist, I received an error regarding reaching the end of the namelist file when trying to specify these two datasets in the 3.5 namelist. Thanks in advance for any input! -Cory

Cory an error like and end of namelist error -- means somethings wrong with you namelist. It can be a small syntax error, or a bad variable name, or small typo in a name. You need to look at your namelist carefully, and you may see it right away. If you don't see it try taking some things out to see if it will work, so you can identify exactly what lines are bad. Once you identify that, you can usually look at it and play around with it until you fix the problem. You'll want to look in the code and make sure you have the names right and things like character length.

If you still don't see it post your namelist and we'll see if we can identify a problem.

The namelist error goes away and CLM3.5-CN runs when I remove 'faerdep' and 'fsoilcarb' definitions from the namelist; I just want to verify that these files are CLM3.6-CN specific. -cory

Hi Cory

Yes, faerdep and fsoilcarb are both namelist variables that are unique to CLM3.6 and should NOT be used in clm3.5.
