Ensemble Consistency Test - Summary files

Hello,

We are trying to validate our machine against cheyenne using the POP-Ensemble Consistency Test. The online tool to do this (CESM2 | Verification) only supports CESM 2.0.0 and we have installed version 2.1.3, so we would like to do this locally. However, we are missing the Cheyenne summary file that should be in inputdata/validation/pop_ensembles. Where can we find this file?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Nicolas,

The POP-Ensemble Consistency Test is supported for CESM 2.1.3. I do see we need to fix the "Note:" about which versions of CESM are
supported, the POP test isn't even mentioned.

Hello,
Thank you Chris. We ran POP-ECT using the online tool, and we got the message below. The contrast between "SALT" and all other variables makes us think that there may be something wrong with input files associated to salinity. We are looking for those files and trying to identify them. But maybe you could guide us on what may be wrong.

Thanks again in advance,
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

I'm not sure what's wrong. Something you can do is run check_input_data --chksum. This will do a checksum for the inputdata
files used for this case.

Have you tried running the UF-CAM-ECT?

Hi Nicolas,

After doing some more digging. It looks like the scripts are giving a bad answer for SALT. I would just ignore the SALT %.
