data ocean model stream question (SOM mode)

[climatemodelling@gmx_com]

Hi, I have a code outline question regarding the data ocean model stream that is build via the docn.buildnml.csh script: Three file variables are defined in the script:A) mod_domfileB) dat_domfileC) dat_datfile, where file A) consists of the mask file on the respective grid used (e.g. gx3v7) and both file names B) and C) point to the same file by default, which includes all the forcing variables for the SOM (e.g. u,v,t,s...) and also another mask file (all variables including the mask in B+C are on a uniform 1x1 degree grid). My questions are:- Why are two pointers (B+C) used to read in the same file? It seems that the mask variable from (B+C) is nowhere used in the model. Instead the mask variable from (A) is used in the data ocean model subroutines. Am I missing a point in the code where the mask variable from (B+C) is used? Thank you very much!

What version of CESM are you using? As of CESM 1.1, everything is handled via the env_run.xml, user_nl and user_docn files. If you are using an earlier version, I can help you with the docn.buildnml.csh changes needed.Dave

Hi Dave,I am using CESM1.0.3. I figured it out and added additonally variables to the o2x stream.
