generating SCRIP grid files

[Lian Gong]

Hi,
I am trying to create the domain and surface files for a single point in CLM5 CESM2.2.0.,but when generating the SCRIP grid,the following errors occurs:
fatal:Could not open ($NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl)
fatal:error at line 10 in file /home/zhangli/cesm2.2.0/components/clm/tools/mkmapdata/../mkmapgrids/mkscripgrid.ncl


It seems that I should modify the contens of the NCL script (mkscripgrid.ncl )after reference the CLM user's guide?but how should I modify it ?and I am also confused that what is the minimum resolution I can set myself?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm moving this to the CLM forum.

I think you would have to ask your system administrators where NCARG_ROOT is on your machine.
On our machines for example it is here:

/glade/u/apps/ch/opt/ncl/6.6.2/intel/19.1.1/

Alternatively, you may want to use some new tools that have been developed to make this process easier. If you clone the latest version of CTSM, you can subset global data for a single point using the subset_data tool found here in the ctsm directory:

tools/site_and_regional/

There is a README file in that directory. You can also run this for help: ./subset_data --help.
If you have questions/problems you can post on this discussion:

How do I create a single-point run with the NUOPC (default) coupler? · ESCOMP CTSM · Discussion #1833

We get this question a lot: I am trying to set up a case for a specific latitude and longitude. I want to use GSWP3 climate data, how do I set this up?

Thank you so much for your reply! I did install ncl using : sudo apt install ncl-ncarg , but the nco seems to be needed as well? Should I install nco?
and I will also try to clone the latest version of CTSM as you suggested.

Yes I believe you will eventually need nco in that process.
