finidat and run-time error in clm45_Me


Hi!I am trying to run clm offline (0.9x1.25 resolution and I_2000_CLM45_CN_4Me compset) using clm4_0_60. But I have got the “dimension mismatch error”. It may be likely due to old spun-up initial file (clmi.BCN.2000-01-01_0.9x1.25_gx1v6_simyr2000_c100303.nc) that were used for CLM4.As suggested by Sam, I set up finitdat = ' ' and ran the clm for a short period. Then, I used 'interpinic' to interpolate from the 0.9x1.25 native resolution file. However, there are many variables that were not matched (for example, soil1c, soil2c, soil1n, soil2n ..... are soil1c_vr, soil2c_vr, soil1n_vr and so on). Interpinic could not write for many variables because of differing variable names when I tried to get mapped from a spun-up file. Does anyone have a spun-up file for 1.9x2.5 or 0.9x1.25 resolution that can be used for I_2000_CLM45_CN_4Me compset? -Rajendra

If you have access to yellowstone/geyser, you might want to try a restart file that I'm using:
/glade/p/work/slevis/clm4_0_60/models/lnd/clm/tools/clm4_5/interpinic/out/clm45_4060_cruncepfillqian.clm2.r.fromclm45_4060_20th.1886.nc
for this case:
/glade/u/home/slevis/clm45_4060_cruncepfillqian

This case will run 1850-2010 at 1.9x2.5 horizontal resolution, so this restart file is appropriate for starting at 1850 and probably not at 2000. Maybe with interpinic you could fix that though.

Hi Sam,

Thanks a lot for the swift response of my question in CGD Forum. I have two quick questions
1)Is the restart file is fully spun-up for CN? (/glade/p/work/slevis/clm4_0_60/models/lnd/clm/tools/clm4_5/interpinic/out/clm45_4060_cruncepfillqian.clm2.r.fromclm45_4060_20th.1886.nc) It worked perfectly to start for 1850 run.
2)I interpolated your output file (/glade/scratch/slevis/clm45sci12clm4054ctrl/run/clm45sci12clm4054ctrl.clm2.h0.0072-12.nc) from 360x720_cruncep_360x720_cruncep resolution to 1.9x2.5 by using interpinic. It looks like you have fully spun-up the CN. It works fine for clm45_4060. I am just wondering if I had lose any critical information by interpolating from such a coarse to fine resolution.

Once again, thank you.

Best,
Rajendra


Dear Rajendra,

1) Not necessarily "fully" spun-up because I used interpinic to put it together from a spun-up 1/2-degree simulation.

2) Interpinic usually works well. It uses nearest neighbor mapping, so you will likely lose information in some cases.
