ERROR: LVD not found, all data is before yearFirst

[samrabin]

I'm getting this error message when trying to perform a single-point run. The case directory is at /glade/u/home/samrabin/cases_ctsm/ts_20220602_285_-10. I extracted (I think) all relevant data via subset_data, and indeed did this for a different point without any issues earlier in the day. Any suggestions?

I don't have much experience with this nuopc configuration yet, but it seems like your forcing data is for 1979-1982, but you are setting your model run for 1991 to 2010, so all of your data is before yearFirst.

Huh. How are you determining that, and how do I fix it? Here's what I see from the relevant group in ./xmlquery -p DATE:

Results in group run_begin_stop_restart
    REST_DATE: -999
    RUN_REFDATE: 0001-01-01
    RUN_STARTDATE: 1978-01-01
    STOP_DATE: -999

I see this in your datm.streams.xml, e.g., for solar:

<year_first>1991</year_first>
<year_last>2010</year_last>
<year_align>1991</year_align>

I think these are being set in env_run.xml:

<entry id="DATM_YR_ALIGN" value="$DATM_YR_START">
<entry id="DATM_YR_START" value="1991">
<entry id="DATM_YR_END" value="2010">

So try changing those settings.

Great, thanks! I have no idea why those were set to those values. I also got tripped up by doing ./xmlquery -p YEAR instead of ./xmlquery -p YR…
