downloading datasets

[lmurphy@atmos_umd_edu]

Hi,

I'm a graduate student and I'm ver new at modeling. I just downloaded the CAM3.1 source code and necessary datasets. When I try to untar the T42 dataset, which is mandatory to use the single column model that I need to use, using the following command that's given in the users guide I receive the following error. Is there something wrong with the T42 dataset or am I getting the necessary files and should I ignor this message?

---------------------------------------------------------
bv1103en$ gunzip -c cam3.1_64x128_T42_datasets.tar.gz | tar xvf -

gunzip: cam3.1_64x128_T42_datasets.tar.gz: unexpected end of file

--------------------------------------------------------
I would really appreciate any help! Thank you very much.

there shouldn't be anything wrong with the T42 dataset, though something weird may have happened during the file transfer, in which case you could just try it again...more likely though is that you've run out of disc space while uncompressing and untarring...

Hi,

Thank you for the response to my last problem. I was finally able to get the SCAMgui version running. When I try loading in the global model data everything works fine but it will only time step through one day no matter what end time I input into the time step section. I tried loading the IOP ARM dataset and it seemed to time step through 15 days with no problem but I only asked it to time step through 10 days. The problem I'm having is when I try to load in userdata and I get this weird error and then SCAM automatically quits. This is the error I am getting:

------------------------
metodata5:cam1/models/atm/cam/tools/scam> ./scam Manager::SetDefaults(): No pressfile found in .scam_defaults.
Based on number of model levels, will try ./data/boundary/press26.nc.
ERROR: LoadDataImpl.cpp:141 LoadDlg::SetRunType() - unknown type 10
------------------------

I never modified the .scam_defaults so I don't know why there would be an error.
Here is the .scam_default file:

Can you please let me know if there's something that should be included in this file?

Also, is there another way to run scam that's not the gui version?

Thank you!
