Could somebody tell me what is a complete inputdata?

Hi guys,

Could somebody tell me what is a complete inputdata?
Because the user's guide give me a svn website to download the inputdata, however, it doesn't separate it to many cases and is too large to download all of it.
I don't know how to get ONLY the files I need for running just a case.

Thanks
Albert
 
If you are running in the CESM framework there is a script ...

$CESMROOT/scripts/ccsm_utils/Tools/check_input_data

... that will do this for you.


If you are running CAM standalone, I'm not sure there is a utility that exists. I have had decent success downloading individual files this way...

### ERROR in stdout file...
# GETFIL: FAILED to get /home/zarzycki/cam_inputdata/atm/cam/physprops/dust1_rrtmg_c080918.nc

### Get file from repo
> export CSMINPUT_DIR=atm/cam/physprops/
> export CSMINPUT_FILE=dust1_rrtmg_c080918.nc
>
> cd /home/zarzycki/cam_inputdata
> mkdir -p $CSMINPUT_DIR
> cd $CSMINPUT_DIR
> svn export https://svn-ccsm-inputdata.cgd.ucar.edu/trunk/inputdata/$CSMINPUT_DIR$CSMINPUT_FILE

CSEG and Liaisons
As a follow up to the post by zarzycki, if you are running CAM standalone you can get a complete list of required inputdata files by adding the "-test" option to your build-namelist command.
