Daily Output Files with CESM?

[krwatkins@wisc_edu]

Hi all,

I'm running CESM with CAM and SOM. I'm needing daily output files and after reading through countless forum posts on here as well as CESM documentation, I'm still not getting daily output.

I've added the following to &cam_inparm in cam.buildnml.csh:
nhtfrq = 0, -24
mfilt = 1, 1
fincl2 = 'TS','PSL'

I've also tried it with slightly different syntax:
nhtfrq(1) = 0
nhtfrq(2) = -24
mfilt(1) = 1
mfilt(2) = 1
fincl2 = 'TS,'PSL'

Neither give me daily output like I need. Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated!

Thank-you!!
Kelsey

The first method you tried should be correct. Did you rebuild your case after you made that change?
You should be able to see the updated code in the atm_in file in the run directory.

I did rebuild the case. I also was sure to *.clean_build before making the changes, then make the changes, and then *.build. The changes do show up in atm_in.

I think I discovered my problem, however, which leads me to a new question. I was trying to get daily output on a 'continue' run from a long run I had already completed (which was only set up to give monthly h0 output.) Is it not possible to add additional output history files mid-run? If that's the case, is a branch run the best bet to continue this out getting daily output? That should be bit-for-bit the same as simply continuing a run, correct?

Thank-you SO much for the help!

Hi Kelsey,

That's correct, you'll need to do a branch run to change the namelist settings.
