Determine number of columns in a chunk in nudging process

[nuvolet]

Greetings,

I am using the nudging process in a particular case run and looking at the nudging.F90 module located in the ~/components/cam/src/physics/cam, I found that any reanalysis variable such as U, V, T or Q is read from the reanalysis files, which are gridded data and they converted in chunks by using the subroutine scatter_field_to_chunk
There is anyway to know the number of columns and elements in each chunk?

Thanks in advance

I am only able to give you a limited answer as I am unable to determine what exactly is your issue.

Looking at the cam6_3_057 tag, the file src/physics/cam/nudging.F90 does not have a call to scatter_field_to_chunk in it.

Typically throughout the CAM code, state%ncol will contain the number of columns that are in the chunk. The number of columns may also be retrieved by calling the subroutine get_ncols_p(lchnk) where lchnk is the chunk which is being used. In the cam6_3_057 version of nudging.F90, ncol is being retrieved using the get_ncols_p subroutine.

I'm not sure what you mean by the "number of elements in each chunk".
