Guidance on Running with LME datasets with CESM2.1.3 (CLM5)

[wvsi3w]

Dear Sam @slevis
Thank you for your helpful comment. I think I am making some progress since I am seeing new errors:

This is what I did in my system (Narval):

cd projects/def-XXX/USER/inputdata/lnd/clm2/mappingdata/
mkdir grids
cd grids/
wget https://ftp.cgd.ucar.edu/pub/slevis/for_wvsi3w/SCRIPgrid_0.5x0.5_AVHRR_c110228.nc

cd ~/my_cesm_sandbox/components/clm/tools/mkmapdata

export CSMDATA=/home/USER/projects/def-XXX/USER/inputdata

module load ncl
module load nco
module load StdEnv/2020 intel/2020.1.217 openmpi/4.0.3

module load esmf/8.2.0
export ESMFBIN_PATH=/cvmfs/soft.computecanada.ca/easybuild/software/2020/avx2/MPI/intel2020/openmpi4/esmf/8.2.0/bin

then:
./mkmapdata.sh --gridfile /home/USER/my_cesm_sandbox/components/clm/tools/mkmapgrids/SCRIPgrid_1x1_nomask.nc --res 1x1

and it creates this file (map_0.5x0.5_AVHRR_to_1x1_nomask_aave_da_c250210.nc) but there is also an error:

./mkmapdata.sh --gridfile /home/USER/my_cesm_sandbox/components/clm/tools/mkmapgrids/SCRIPgrid_1x1_nomask.nc --res 1x1

I tried commenting out this file but it shows other errors for other files too. So I dont think my approach is correct and I guess I should ask for other files too (?)

in the line ~250 of mkmapdata.sh script this is written:

grids=(                    \
       "0.5x0.5_AVHRR"     \
       "0.25x0.25_MODIS"   \
       "0.5x0.5_MODIS"     \
       "3x3min_LandScan2004" \
       "3x3min_MODISv2"    \
       "3x3min_MODIS-wCsp" \
       "3x3min_USGS"       \
       "5x5min_nomask"     \

       "5x5min_ISRIC-WISE" \
       "5x5min_ORNL-Soil" \

       "360x720cru_cruncep" \
       "1km-merge-10min_HYDRO1K-merge-nomask" \
      )

right now we have the first one. But it shows the error of "Input grid file does NOT exist" for the rest of this list.

@oleson just running this by you first:
Shouldn't users on non-ncar computers be able to download the files directly from the repository rather than having us place them on our anonymous ftp?
