Ice diagnostics model comparison

[srogstad@geo_umass_edu]

I have run the ice diagnostics package for the first time. I had set the following options:

./pp_config --set ICEDIAG_BEGYR_CONT=2005
./pp_config --set ICEDIAG_ENDYR_CONT=2025
./pp_config --set ICEDIAG_YRS_TO_AVG=20
./pp_config --set ICEDIAG_BEGYR_DIFF=2005
./pp_config --set ICEDIAG_ENDYR_DIFF=2025
./pp_config --set ICEDIAG_MODEL_VS_MODEL=TRUE
./pp_config --set ICEDIAG_COMPUTE_CLIMO_DIFF=TRUE
./pp_config --set ICEDIAG_VAR_NAME_TYPE_DIFF=CICE
./pp_config --set ICEDIAG_VAR_NAME_TYPE_CONT=CICE
./pp_config --set ICEDIAG_CASE_TO_DIFF=RCP85PertSourceMods
./pp_config --set ICEDIAG_PATH_DIFF=/glade/scratch/srogstad/archive/RCP85FW

The averages and diagnostics codes seemed to complete successfully, but I don't see where the model comparison output is. I have the following output:
diag/case/case-obs

In the ocean diagnostics package when I run it there are two directories, the obs comparison and a model comparison, and while I know the diagnostic packages are all a bit different I am wondering if there is supposed to be a model-model comparison directory under diag as well as the obs one I see. Is it somewhere else and I missed it or did I maybe not set the config flags correctly? Thanks!

Does the log say it completes successfully? The log file will have the path to the data and the climatologies. It should be under:

/glade/scratch/srogstad/archive/case/proc/diag/climo

Or something like that.

Yes, the last line of the log file is
"Successfully completed generating ice diagnostics"

But I don't see anywhere in the log file where it refers to model vs model so perhaps I did not set the flags correctly? I thought the only flags needed would be the ones above.

The directory /glade/scratch/srogstad/archive/case/proc/climo has the netcdf files for the 2 models I was trying to compare but not the diagnostic output. Under /glade/scratch/srogstad/archive/case/proc/diag/ it has the model vs. obs folder with images but not a model vs model folder.

I wonder if the Ice_averages script timed out? Are all the climos there for both runs?

 

[srogstad@geo_umass_edu]

I don't think it timed out since it only took a few minutes to run and says it completed successfully. The climos are there for both runs. I'm about to try the script again with a different control case.

 

[srogstad@geo_umass_edu]

Hmm, it really doesn't seem to be doing anything. I just turned off the model vs obs and only ran model vs. model with a different test case. The script completes but doesn't do anything. These are the flags I did to update the ones above:
./pp_config --set ICEDIAG_CASE_TO_DIFF=RCP85CtrlSourceMods
./pp_config --set ICEDIAG_PATH_DIFF=/glade/scratch/srogstad/archive/RCP85Ctrl
./pp_config --set ICEDIAG_MODEL_VS_OBS=FALSE

And this is the full text of the log:
6.6.2
NCO netCDF Operators version 4.7.9 built by csgteam on cheyenne1 at Jun 27 2019 20:04:47

It looks like the script sees no requested diagnostics but in env_diags_ice.xml this shows:
<!-- Description: Compute climatologies for the cntl case. -->
<!-- Valid Values: -->
<entry id="ICEDIAG_COMPUTE_CLIMO_DIFF" value="TRUE" />
