Error Running the test-suite for CLM 3.5

[mohitved@gmail_com]

Dear All,

I am running CLM 3.5 on IBM machine with AIX 5.3. I downloaded the offline version of the model. I am able to set up the model and it runs fine. It gives me the right output files as it is supposed to give for the default 1 day run (as per the documentation). However, while running the test script for the model, I get an error while performing the 15th test for making grid data (mkgriddata). It is supposed to perform 17 tests and the first 14 tests PASS successfully. I am using the tests_pretag_bluevista file for bluevista as the configuration is same for my system also. The test_driver.sh script has been modified as per my machine.

Following is the error message that I get:

************************************************************

The test.log file contains:
Attempting to initialize control settings .....
error: namelist input resulted in error code -1

I am using xlf90_r fortran compiler. I have modified the namelist files to contain the right path for the files.

So I am not able to complete the testing process. Please Help if anyone has any clue about this. Thanks in advance.

Thanks & Regards

First of all do you need to run mkgriddata for your application of using clm3.5? If not why worry about it?

If you do need it -- the error is in reading the namelist -- so first of all I suggest that you read your namelist carefully and make sure the syntax is correct. You might also try removing part of the namelist so you can narrow down to the line that has the problem. Once, you find the namelist error, you should be able to run the test suite. If you still can't fine the problem send your namelist to the list and we'll see if we can recognize it.

Dear Erik,

I am running the test suite to complete the installation, running and testing of the model as a part of an R&D project. Hence it becomes important to complete the testing.

The namelist file (mkgriddata.singlept) contains the following text:

&clmexp
mksrf_fnavyoro="/home/climate/mohitv/CLM/inputdata/lnd/clm2/rawdata/mksrf_navyoro_20min.c010129.nc"
mksrf_lsmlon = 1
mksrf_lsmlat = 1
mksrf_edgee = -54.0
mksrf_edgew = -56.0
mksrf_edges = -8.0
mksrf_edgen = -6.0
&END

The path mentioned is correct as per my system. The syntax is also correct as my system accepts old namelist format where end of namelist is denoted by &END. Please let me know if anything needs to be modified in the namelist.

I have also tried skipping this test and performing the next test for mksurfdata. It gives me the same error.
